Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumours (DNET) are a common cause of tumour‐associated epilepsy, and are usually located in the temporal lobes. We present a case of multifocal DNETs in both infra‐ and supra‐tentorial locations, in a 23‐year‐old man with a coincident Type I Chiari malformation, presenting with medically refractory focal seizures. The extensive anatomical distribution of the lesions suggests a genetic component in their tumourigenesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
