Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Neuronal-glial tumors (ganglioglioma and dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor) are a frequent cause of focal, drug-resistant and epilepsy in children and young adults, that is amenable for surgical treatment. AIM OF PAPER:Assessment of late outcome of surgical treatment and degree of seizure control, as well as prognostic significance of selected clinical factors. MATERIAL AND METHOD:52 Pediatric patients presenting with epilepsy, lesion of mesio-basal temporal lobe and histologically verified neuronal-glial tumor treated at our facility since 2000-2011. RESULTS:After the mean follow-up of 2.94 years, satisfactory treatment outcome (Engel classes I and II) was obtained in 92% of the patients (n=48). Poor outcome (Engel class III) was seen in 8% of patients (n=4). New neurological deficits appeared in 28% of the patients (n=20) but in most of them resolved over time. CONCLUSIONS:In patients with drug-resistant epilepsy and a lesion of mesial-basal part of temporal lobe suggestive of a glial-neuronal tumor, surgical treatment is strongly recommended, aiming at excision of tumor and elimination of seizures. Histological verification of the lesion is a pre-requisite for optimal treatment planning. In most patients, both treatment goals may be reached. Short duration of epilepsy prior to surgery and young age are favorable prognostic factors. Histological diagnosis of GG, co-existence of cortical dysplasia and location of tumor extending beyond mesial-basal temporal structures are associated with a higher risk of postoperative complications. These may out-weight expected benefits of surgery.
