Abstract: | A 31-year-old woman with a five year history of seizures complained of worsening fatigue and attention deficits. At age 26, neuroradiological imaging studies had shown a small, non-enhancing hypodense lesion involving the left frontobasal and subcallosal region. Follow-up CT and MRI images showed that the lesion had not changed. A stereotactic biopsy showed a dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNT). The lesion was subtotally resected and the diagnosis of DNT was fully confirmed. However, the distinction between oligodendroglioma, ganglioglioma, focal dysplastic cerebral cortex, and DNT was only possible with knowledge of the clinical and neuroradiological data. |
