Abstract
in English, French

We report the case of a 28-year-old male admitted to the emergency department for generalized seizure. A brain computed tomography (CT) revealed a ruptured dermoid cyst of the supra-tentorial stage (multiple drop-shaped fat structures were found in the subarachnoid space, basal cisterns and in ventricular system). An additional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was conducted to confirm the CT findings.

Nous rapportons le cas d’un homme de 28 ans admis aux urgences pour une crise comitiale généralisée. Une tomodensitométrie (TDM) cérébrale initiale a mis en évidence une rupture de kyste dermoïde de l’étage supra-tentoriel (de multiples structures graisseuses en forme de gouttelettes ont été trouvées au sein de l’espace sous-arachnoïdien, des citernes de la base et dans le système ventriculaire). Une imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM) complémentaire a été réalisée afin de confirmer les résultats de la TDM.
