- Epidermoid and dermoid cysts
- dermoid
- ectoderm + skin appendages
- usually midline and tend to occur at the glabella
- epidermoid
- ectoderm without skin appendages
- usually paramidine
- Nasal gliomas
- not a neoplasm
- cerebral heterotopia
- can be intranasal (lateral nasal wall, middle turbinate, nasal septum) or extranasal (usually at glabella, +/- overlying skin telangectasia)
- T1WI - isointense/hypointense to gray matter
- T2WI - hyperintense to gray matter
- Encephaloceles
- herniation of intracranial content through a skull defect with a persistent connection to the subarachnoid space
- high prevalence of associated intracranial abnormalities
- intracranial cysts, callosal agenesis, interhemispheric lipomas, facial clefts, schizencephaly
- usually isointense to gray matter on all MR sequences
- may be hyperintense on T2WI due to gliosis
