ABSTRACT

Dysembryoplastic Neuroepithelial Tumors (DNT) are a group of rare low-grade brain tumors, that were first described in 1988. DNTs are frequently associated to medically intractable seizures and are mainly reported in children and young adults. In current paper, the authors present the case of a 38 years old patient with a 20 years history of complex partial seizures with secondary generalization. Our patient underwent a craniotomy with complete resection of the tumor with a favorable outcome after surgery. The aim of our study was to better characterize the clinical-radiologic and pathologic spectrum of DNTs throughout a case report and show the importance of raising awareness about early diagnosis in our local context in Morocco.
