Angiocentric glioma (AG) is a rare, epilepsy-associated, low-grade neoplasm with a characteristic perivascular growth pattern. Here, we review the histological types, surgical interventions, and postoperative seizure in our three cases of AG with drug-resistant epilepsy. Some patients with AG present focal cortical dysplasia. For these patients, extended lesionectomy including the adjacent cortical dysplasia is necessary to achieve a seizure-free outcome. Surgical planning based on comprehensive evaluation of epilepsy and cortical dysplasia is therefore an important step for all patients.
血管中心性胶质瘤(angiocentric glioma,AG)是一种罕见的、与癫痫相关的低度肿瘤,具有特征性的血管周围生长模式。在此,我们回顾了三例伴有耐药性癫痫的 AG 的组织学类型、手术干预和术后癫痫发作情况。一些 AG 患者表现为局灶性皮质发育不良。对于这些患者,需要进行包括邻近皮质发育不良在内的病灶扩大切除术,以实现无癫痫发作的结果。因此,基于癫痫和皮质发育不良的综合评估来制定手术计划对所有患者都是重要的一步。
