Papillary glioneuronal tumour is an entity described as grade I neuronal-glial tumour by the World Health Organization. Headaches, seizures, vomiting, language or visual disturbances, and hemiparesis are the most common clinical findings. This tumour typically presents as cystic with enhancing mural nodule in the cerebral hemisphere. In this paper, we reported a case of a papillary glioneuronal tumour in a young adult whose magnetic resonance imaging revealed a solid tumour in the cerebral aqueduct. The tumour was totally resected surgically 13 years ago. The histological and immunohistochemical examination determined the diagnosis. No further therapy was necessary. Currently, the patient presents no neurologic signs or symptoms and there is no radiologic evidence of tumour relapse. The case of papillary glioneuronal tumour reported here displayed unusual location and radiologic features. The long duration of follow-up of this case with no tumour relapse enhances that the preferred management for this type of tumour is its total surgical resection.

Brain arteriovenous malformations (AVM) rarely occur with spatial and/or temporal co-localisation to intracranial neoplasms. Most prior reports describe this association with high-grade gliomas; however, reports of a co-occurrence with low grade gliomas are very rare. It is unclear whether such cases represent a true co-occurrence of separate pathologies or simply an unusually vascular phenotype of the neoplasm.

Papillary glioneuronal tumors (PGNTs), classified as Grade I by the WHO in 2016, present diagnostic challenges due to their rarity and potential for malignancy. Xiaodan Du et al.'s recent study of 36 confirmed PGNT cases provides critical insights into their imaging characteristics, revealing frequent presentation with headaches, seizures, and mass effect symptoms, predominantly located in the supratentorial region near the lateral ventricles.

Article Synopsis
  • Low-grade gliomas are the most common brain tumors in children and adolescents, often leading to uncontrolled seizures when located in the temporal lobe.
  • A review of literature highlights various tumor types, surgical treatment options, and outcomes, indicating that complete resection of tumors is crucial for achieving favorable seizure outcomes.
  • Management of these conditions should involve a multidisciplinary team focused on epilepsy surgery, as early and effective intervention significantly improves patient survival and reduces seizure-related issues.
