Infantile spasms associated with brain tumors have been reported. A focal cortical lesion can induce infantile spasms by triggering the brainstem and basal ganglia in this vulnerable age group. We report the case of a female infant with a low-grade glioma in the right basal ganglia, spreading to the cortical area. She presented at the age of five months with left hemiparesis and partial seizures. She developed infantile spasms at the age of 12 months. This is the first video clip report of partial seizures triggering symmetrical spasms in series, secondary to a basal ganglia glioma extending to the cortex. [Published with video sequences].
已有报道称婴儿痉挛症与脑肿瘤有关。在这个易发病的年龄组中，局灶性皮质病变可通过触发脑干和基底神经节诱发婴儿痉挛症。我们报告了一名右基底神经节低级别胶质瘤并扩散至皮质区域的女婴病例。她5个月大时出现左半身轻瘫和部分性癫痫发作。12个月大时发展为婴儿痉挛症。这是首个关于继发于基底神经节胶质瘤扩展至皮质的部分性癫痫发作引发一连串对称性痉挛的视频报道。[随视频序列发表]
