Dense suprasellar epidermoid cyst. A case report

A case of a dense epidermoid cyst of the suprasellar cistern is presented. The clinical symptoms were headache radiating to the left eye and a quadrant anopsia on the left eye. The density of the epidermoid was 62 HU and no significant contrast enhancement occurred after contrast application. The main feature which allows differentiation from other hyperdense suprasellar lesions seems to be the lack of contrast enhancement.
