Surgical resection of dysembryoplatic neuroepithelioma tumor associated with epilepsy based on imaging classification.

Based on the MRI classification of DNET by Chassoux, the postoperative epilepsy control of type I is better than that of type II and type III, which may be related to the residual FCD around the tumor of type II and type III. Thus, the MRI classification of DNET can contribute to the preoperative design of the resection plan. Total resection of type I and extended resection of type II, as well as type III, will help to improve the postoperative seizure-free rate in DNET.
