Desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma: A rare entity

Abstract

Desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma (DIG) is a very uncommon intracranial tumor with an incidence of 0.1%–1.25%. It is most often seen in the first 2 years of life. We describe two cases of this unusual entity in a 5-month-old boy and a 15-month-old child, both of whom had a history of convulsions and were diagnosed as DIG on histopathology after surgery. Gross total excision resulted in a successful treatment outcome without the requirement of any additional treatment.
