TI  - L’hermitte–Duclos Disease In An Infant: A Case Report With Review of Literature
JO  - Surgery Research Journal
VL  - 2
IS  - 2
AB  - Jacques Jean Lhermitte a French neurologist and P. Duclos in 1920 first described a growth in the
cerebellum gangliocytoma, as a rare hamartomata’s lesion due to abnormal development of the
cerebellum. Since then it has been called by many names Lhermitte-Duclos disease, dysplastic
gangliocytoma of the cerebellum, benign hypertrophy of the cerebellar cortex, granular cell hypertrophy
and Purkinjeoma. It is a characteristic radiological feature and there has been reported in over 200 cases
worldwide in adolescents [1] and old people but a handful of cases are detected and reported in infants.
We report a 6 month old male child whose parents reported a history of irritability and typical lion facies
with normal mile stones and radiological features of L’hermitte–Duclos disease.
