MARTINEZ-LUNA, Ariam A. et al. Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor and temporal arachnoid cyst on a child with epilepsy. Which one to operate? Case report and literature review. Cir. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.88, suppl.1, pp.9-13. Epub 08-Feb-2022. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.20001234.
A 6 year-old male, with seizures characterized by abnormal epigastric sensation, behavioral arrest, upper extremities search automatisms and secondary tonic-clonic generalization. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a hypointense cystic extra-axial image with an increase in the thickness of the convolutions in the first and second gyri of the right frontal lobe. It was decided to resect the frontal lesion with transoperative motor mapping. Morphological and immunohistochemical findings corresponded to dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor with focal cortical dysplasia. Adequate semiology, analysis of the electroencephalogram, and imaging studies allowed treating adequately the cortical dysplasia. At present, the patient is seizure-free without medication (Engel IA).
