Epidermoid cysts are slowly growing benign congenital tumors. Intercranial epidermoid cysts show extra-actional settlement and are often localized in the corner of serebellopontin or parasellar area. Ventricular settlement or intradiploic settlement is quite rare. In this article, we presented the imaging findings of epidermoid cysts showing atypical intrakranial settlement in 2 separate patients. In the first patient intraventricular epidermoid cyst, in the second patient intradiploic distance placed epidermoid cyst magnetic resonance imaging (MRG) findings were presented. Only conventional MR sequences (T1 and T2 weight sequences) are not always distinguished between epidermoid cyst and other intrakranial cystic lesions. Diffusion weight imaging (DAG) and fluid attenuation invention recovery (FLAIR) sequences play a significant role in making this difference clearer by revealing the damage content. As a result, a more clear distinctive diagnosis can be made with the addition of DAG and FLAIR sequences to the conventional MR sequences in the diagnosis of the atypical inserted epidermoid cyst.
