    Author: Kocaeli H, Korfali E, Doğan S, Savran M.
    Journal: Acta Neurochir (Wien); 2009 May; 151(5):561-3. PubMed ID: 19290464.
    Abstract:
    It is rare for a patient with a dermoid cyst (DC) to present with taste dysfunction. A 58-year-old man presented with an altered sense of taste. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed a mass lesion in the right insula with compression effect. The tumour was resected and was found to be a DC. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient resumed his usual taste sensation within the early postoperative period. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a sylvian cistern DC that presented with dysgeusia.
