    Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNETs) are benign tumors often causing focal seizures, primarily treated through surgical resection.

  • 2

    Gross total resection (GTR) of DNETs is challenging, especially in eloquent cortex areas, and incomplete resection can lead to tumor progression.

  • 3

    Satellite lesions (SLs) adjacent to DNETs may indicate incomplete resection and are associated with higher recurrence rates.

  • 4

    An MRI-based classification of DNETs into three types has been proposed, correlating with histology and tumor location, but its prognostic value remains uncertain.

  • 5

    The study analyzed 84 patients to identify factors affecting long-term tumor control and radiological progression following DNET resection.
