  • Title: [Dysplastic gangliocytoma of the cerebellum or Lhermittee-Duclos disease].
    Author: Calvo A, Chouza C, Purriel JA, Aymone F.
    Journal: Acta Neurol Latinoam; 1979; 25(1-2):97-105. PubMed ID: 583389.
    Abstract:
    Lhermitte-Duclós disease is an infrequent condition of which there are only 37 cases described in the literature. Although presently considered as a displasic process, its clinical presentation is of a typical posterior fossa tumour and should be treated as such. Even though it is a benign growth there are only 7 cases described with postoperative survival. The uniform pathological anatomy in all the cases presented makes the definitive diagnosis. The authors present a new case with postoperative survival and discuss its clinical presentation, treatment and origin of the disease.
