Since dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNTs) are benign tumors that are frequently associated with long-standing medically intractable epilepsy, it is well known that the surgical strategy is resection of the associated epileptogenic zone as well as the tumor. However, the surgical strategy for DNT with a single seizure has not been fully discussed.
