Abstract

Though typical dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNETs) are located in the cerebral cortex, an atypical DNET could occur in the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle and broadly involve the ependyma. Awareness of this atypical form of DNET is of value for the wright diagnosis and management of atypical DNETs.

Keywords: DNET; dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor; epilepsy; lateral ventricle; seizure; surgery.
