SEIZURES IN CHILDREN WITH LOW GRADE GLIOMA

Seizures are a common presentation of pediatric brain tumors. The incidence of pediatric brain tumor (Age 0-19 years) ranges from 1.12–5.26 cases per 100,000 persons. Low grade gliomas are an important subgroup of pediatric brain tumors causing epilepsy. Low-grade gliomas are largely slow-growing tu...
