Abstract
Introduction: Dysembryonic Neuro-Epithelial Tumors are mixed neuro-epithelial tumors affecting most commonly the temporal lobe. They usually result in epilepsy which is intractable in nature. Children and young adults are much more prone to exhibit these Dysembryonic Neuro-Epithelial Tumors.
