“…The radical surgical removal of the lesion is usually reserved for cases with severe neurological symptoms, and for young people with a well-circumscribed lesion which allow a total and safe surgery [16, 17]. However in symptomatic elderly patients, partial resection may be recommended to reduce mass effect and avoid surgical complication [18].…”

BackgroundLhermitte–Duclos disease (LDD) is a rare cerebellar lesion characterized by a hamartomatous lesion in the posterior fossa. Mainly diagnosed by MRI, the clinical presentation is usually made of neurological symptoms.Case presentationWe present here a rare case of a woman who developed depressive symptoms that inaugurated the clinical presentation of LDD.ConclusionPsychiatric symptoms may occur in all brain lesions, delaying the diagnosis and causing therapeutic escalation. More attention should be given by practitioners to psychiatric aspects of LDD.

Lhermitte-Duclos disease, also known as dysplastic gangliocytoma of the cerebellum, is an extremely rare cerebellar tumor characterized by an enlargement of cerebellar folia. Its etiology remains controversial. Imaging modalities, especially magnetic resonance imaging, contribute to establish a correct and accurate diagnosis with pre and postoperative assessment. The characteristic "tiger striping" appearance is pathognomonic. The recognition of this unusual and benign condition is particularly important, given the possible association with Cowden's syndrome and therefore the need to identify concurrent malignancies.To our knowledge, we describe a rare and unique presentation of histologically proven Lhermitte-Duclos disease associated with a frontal encephalocele surgically treated.
