Abstract

Abstract : A 3-year-old boy presented with acute onset of prolonged right sided focal seizures with secondary generalisation. The investigation findings were suggestive of a neoplastic process more than an inflammatory process. Decision to perform brain biopsy from the lesion to establish the precise nature of lesion was undertaken.
