[Intrasellar epidermoid cysts].
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.
