A histopathological examination showed her lesion to be ganglioglioma [Figure 2a and b].
(a) Axial T1-weighted with gadolinium contrast. (b) Axial T2-weighted. (c) Sagittal T1-weighted with gadolinium contrast. (d) Coronal T1-weighted with gadolinium contrast. Postoperative images 5 years after surgery showing no recurrence of the lesion
