[Lhermitte-Duclos disease. Apropos of a case].
The authors report a case of dysplastic gangliocytoma of the cerebellum (Lhermitte-Duclos disease). This woman's first neurosurgical admission was in 1970 at the age of 15 years. Hydrocephalus related to aqueduct-stenosis was diagnosed and a ventriculo atrial shunt was inserted. Ten years later, she underwent partial resection of a third ventricle tumor which was identified as a pilocytic astrocytoma. In 1986, computerized tomography revealed a non-enhancing left cerebellar mass lesion. Surgical excision was performed, and pathological examination disclosed dysplastic gangliocytoma of the cerebellum.
