Triple pathology in a patient with uncontrolled epilepsy: a case report
Debates arise whether the co-occurrence of mesial temporal sclerosis and low-grade glioma with Sturge-Weber syndrome lesions is incidental or secondary to Sturge-Weber syndrome pathogenesis. Furthermore, this association can be attributed to a common genetic underlying. While there is no compelling evidence in this case to address the exact pathogenicity, the impact of early diagnosis and intense control of primary seizures on preventing downstream effects, such as sclerosis and tumor formations, is considerable. We strongly believe further research is needed to address this concern.
