Abstract
A 23 year old woman suffering from grand mal epilepsy showed generalized spike and wave activity on her EEG. The CT showed a cystic tumor in the cortex and the white tissue of the right parietal region. On operation the tumor was diagnosed as malignant infiltrating cystic meningioma. After removal of the tumor the spike and wave pattern disappeared. Cortical localized tumors are rarely associated with a generalized spike and wave pattern.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
