Abstract

Brain tumors are the second most common etiology in pediatric patients with focal seizures undergoing surgery for drug-resistant epilepsy. These neoplasms have a number of distinctive features from those found in adult patients, one of which is a wide polymorphism of structural architectonics during neuroradiological examination. Given the tremendous biological stability of these tumors, not in all cases of pre-surgical examination it is possible to verify the presence of a neoplastic process in the structure of the epileptogenic substrate using routine neuroimaging methods. In some complex diagnostic cases, a multimodal imaging approach and in-depth complex examination are required for reliable diagnosis and success of the results of epileptic surgery.
