From Tachycardia to Brain Tumor: An Unusual Evolution of Epilepsy

Ganglioglioma is a rare, benign intracranial neoplasm, most commonly observed in the temporal lobes. Prognosis in brain tumor patients depends not only on the degree of malignancy but also on the tumor's location. Patients typically present with refractory epileptic seizures. This report presents a 27-year-old female patient with ganglioglioma, waiting for a correct diagnosis for nearly 10 years. A thorough review of her medical history revealed no identifiable risk factors. A subtotal surgical resection of the tumor was performed, followed by histopathological examination. Currently, four years post-operation, no growth of residual tumor has been observed.
