An unusual case of temporal encephalocele is presented in this report. A large temporal mass was detected prenatally by ultrasound and following delivery by caesarian section. It was determined to be a large temporal encephalocele with extensive invasion into the subtemporal, facial and cervical regions. This case is presented because of the unique pathology of this congenital malformation and the extensive surgery that was required. The management and the clinical and radiological features are discussed.

Objective: Temporal encephaloceles (TEs) are seen in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE); yet they are also common incidental findings. Variability in institutional pre-surgical epilepsy practices and interpretation of epileptogenic network localization contributes to bias in existing epilepsy cohorts with TE, and therefore the relevance of TE in DRE remains controversial. We sought to estimate effect sizes and sample sizes necessary to demonstrate clinically relevant improvements in seizure outcome with different surgical approaches.

Article Synopsis
- * Effective treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy is often surgical, relying heavily on imaging to identify abnormalities, though TEs are frequently missed on standard scans.
- * This study explored a voxel-based morphometry (VBM) method to detect TEs in MRI scans, comparing its effectiveness to that of experienced neuroradiologists and epileptologists, revealing that VBM showed lower sensitivity and specificity but could still aid in improving detection and surgical outcomes.

Background: Otitis media (OM) can uncommonly lead to intracranial complications. Epidural abscesses represent a large proportion of cases; however, literature regarding the optimal surgical management of otogenic epidural abscesses is sparse. Favorably located epidural abscesses may be amenable to drainage through a transmastoid approach because the tegmen mastoideum lies immediately inferior to the middle cranial fossa (MCF).
