case_images: Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed (a) T1 hypointense, (b) T2 hyperintense lesion in the left cerebellopontine angle cistern with (c and d) diffusion restriction and extensions into the ambient, quadrigeminal, and suprasellar cisterns with no postcontrast enhancement suggestive of epidermoid cyst.

case_images: His imaging was suggestive of a left CP angle epidermoid cyst [Figures 1 and 2].
case_images: (a and b) Preoperative computed tomography scan of the brain suggestive of a hypodense lesion in the left cerebellopontine angle with peripheral calcifications.

case_images: His imaging was suggestive of a left CP angle epidermoid cyst [Figures 1 and 2].
case_images: (a-d) Immediate postoperative computed tomography scan of the brain suggestive of no hematoma at the operated site but a remote left parafalcine frontoparietal intraparenchymal bleed.

case_images: In the immediate postoperative period, a non-contrast computed tomography scan of the brain was suggestive of no hematoma at the operated site but a remote left parafalcine frontoparietal intraparenchymal bleed resulting in weakness of the right upper and lower limbs (power 3/5) [Figure 3].
case_images: (a-f) At two months follow-up, magnetic resonance imaging of the brain suggestive of near total excision of the epidermoid cyst with resolving left parafalcine frontoparietal bleed. Magnetic resonance venography was suggestive of a patent superior sagittal sinus.

case_images: At two months follow-up, he had no neuro deficits and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain was suggestive of near-total excision of the epidermoid cyst with resolving left parafalcine frontoparietal bleed [Figure 4]. Magnetic resonance venography was suggestive of a patent superior sagittal sinus [Figure 4].
