Abstract：Objective To explore the pathological and imaging characteristics of intractable epilepsy patients with ganglioglioma (GG) and dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNT) and optimize the surgical procedures. Methods Clinical data of 1 patient with symptomatic intractable epilepsy were analyzed retrospectively, who received the left frontotemporal occipital craniotomy and resection of lesion of left temporal lobe and epileptogenic focus after evaluation. Results The postoperative pathological diagnosis was GG associtated with DNT. There was no epileptiform discharge in electroencephalogram after surgery. The patient recovered well and no seizure during one year followed-up period. Conclusion Mixed ganglioglioma of GG associated with DNT is rare and mostly is benign tumor. There is no relapse after surgery. The patient with tumor has favourable prognosis and further radiotherapy or chemotherapy is not necessary.
