Neurologically, delayed speech development and mild monoparesis of right upper extremity he had. Brain CT revealed the ill defined round calcific density on left frontal lobe with mild dilatation of frontal horn of left lateral ventricle. EEG showed the single and poly spike wave on left cerebral hemisphere. The tumor mass was grayish white in color and rubbery hard in consistency with relatively good demarcation from the adjacent normal brain cortex. Histological diagnosis was a ganglioglioma with calcification. Following subtotal removal, the patient had an uneventful recovery.
