Abstract：Objective The surgical treatment for dysembryoplastie neuroepithelial tumors (DNET) was investigated.Methods A total of 12 cases (7 males,5 females,aged 4 ～36 years) of dysembryoplastie neuroepithelial tumors from June 2010 to June 2014 in Shanghai Blue Cross Brain Hospital were analyzed retrospectively,including 9 cases of temporal lobe,2 cases of frontal lobe,and 1 case of parietal lobe.The tumors and epileptogenic foci outside the lesions were resected under the guidance of electrocorticogram (ECoG) in all patients.Results The pathological examination showed that all the tumors were DNET.All the patients had been followed up for 2 to 4 years.The epilepsy seizure in 2 patients and the others were seizure free after the operation.No recurrence occurred in any patients during the follow-up.Conclusion DNET is a benign tumor which often produces intractable epilepsy,which can be controlled by the extended excision of the tumors and epileptogenic foci under the guidance of ECoG.
