Abstract
Angiocentric glioma (AG) is a rare form of brain tumor characterized by cortical epileptogenic lesions that show angiocentric patterns upon histopathological examination. Cystoid degeneration is a rare radiological manifestation of this condition. We report a case involving the left eloquent cortical areas and review the clinical features of angiocentric glioma. A 10-year-old girl presented with a history of refractory drug-resistant epilepsy. Imaging revealed a cystic-solid neoplasm within the left frontal lobe. Surgical procedures were performed, and it was observed that the pathological manifestations were consistent with those of AG. Angiocentric glioma should be considered for diagnosis when the supratentorial cortical neoplasm contains a cystic component. The diagnosis of AG can be confirmed by histopathological examination. Gross total resection is the recommended strategy for controlling seizures elicited by this condition.
