Figure 4 Ganglioglioma and associated focal cortical dysplasia IIa.
Coronal FSE T2-w (A, B) demonstrate a temporo-mesial heterogeneously hyperintense lesion. Post-contrast coronal T1-w (C) shows enhancement of the tumor and adjacent leptomeninges. A signal abnormality extending from the surface of the ventricle to the pole (arrowheads in D) and adjacent anomalous sulci (arrow in A) were suspicious for FCD, subsequently histologically confirmed. Microscopy evidenced a tumor composed of ganglion cells intimately intermixed with astrocytic elements (E) and focal cortical dysplasia with dysmorphic neurons (FCD Type IIa) (F).
