Two patients presenting with an intrasellar epidermoid cyst and operated on through a transsphenoidal approach, are reported. Problems regarding pathological controversies about the differential diagnosis (particularly craniopharyngiomas) are addressed. In order to establish the adequate preoperative diagnosis, the interest of MRI is discussed.

Objective: Epidermoid cysts (ECs) commonly extend to involve the ventral cisterns of the cranial base. When present, symptoms arise due to progressive mass effect on the brainstem and adjacent cranial nerves. Historically, a variety of open microsurgical approaches have been used for resection of ECs in this intricate region.
