| Abstract |
The true incidence of dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNT) is unknown. Variable estimations have been advanced according to the type of recruitment of patients. In series of patients with tumors who were operated on for pharmacoresistant epilepsy, the rates varied widely, from 5% to 87%. Among 600 pediatric tumors in a series, 9 DNT (1.5%) were found. Since DNT was identified only in 1988, we reviewed our cases (1975-1991) of gangliogliomas (n = 25), oligoastrocytomas (n = 9), temporal oligodendrogliomas (n = 11), temporal astrocytomas grade II (OMS 1993) (n = 44) irrespective to age, as well as all astrocytomas grade II (n = 61) and oligodendrogliomas (n = 10) in patients up to 20 years of age. Seven DNT were encountered. Four cases had been formerly diagnosed as gangliogliomas and 3 as astrocytomas grade II. From 1992 on, 4 more DNT were diagnosed, making up a total of 11 cases. Eight patients were under age 17 (6 y to 17 y, mean 10.3 y) and 3 were 27, 42 and 51 year-old. Eight tumors were temporal, 1 frontal and 2 occipital. All patients have had pharmacoresistant epilepsy. Among all neuroepithelial tumors diagnosed in our Division in the last 22 years, DNT comprises 1.2% in patients under age 20 (n = 660), 0.24% in patients over 20 years (n = 1254), and 0.63% all ages considered (n = 1914). |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 May 2015.
All research outputs
#6,754,462
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria
#270
of 1,369 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#12,281
of 41,234 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria
#6
of 48 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,369 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 41,234 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 48 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
