We present a video clinical case of stereotactic biopsy and laser ablation of a ganglioglioma using a thulium laser. The patient is an 11-year-old girl, presented
with complaints of ambulatory epileptic seizures with impaired awareness, followed by post-seizure amnesia. The morphological examination has revealed
a glioneuronal tumor with increased proliferative activity, which corresponds to a Grade I ganglioglioma. The post-operative follow-up period is now 18 months.
Complete freedom from epileptic seizures has been achieved (class I on the Engel Scale).
