Commonly, these tumors arise either in the suprasellar or the pineal region. The basal ganglia-thalamus complex represents a rare site of nonmidline intracranial GCTs. Such basal ganglionic GCTs have been reported to produce certain interesting clinico-radiological features, the knowledge of which may provide important diagnostic clues preoperatively. We present the case of a 9.5-year-old boy who presented with right hemiparesis and precocious puberty. Imaging revealed a heterogeneously enhancing mass involving the left capsuloganglionic region, sparing the thalamus. There was little perilesional edema and midline shift. Because of the deep location of the mass and a lack of mass effect, a neuronavigation-guided tumor biopsy was performed which unraveled a pure germinoma. The child was referred for adjuvant radiotherapy following an uneventful postoperative course. At the time of writing the report, the child was on radiotherapy and doing well.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/ajns.ajns_284_16","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,27]],"date-time":"2018-03-27T11:26:49Z","timestamp":1522150009000},"page":"492-495","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Capsuloganglionic germinoma: A rare site for uncommon childhood tumor"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Kuntal","family":"Das","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, SGPGIMS, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeena","family":"Joseph","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, SGPGIMS, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amit","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, SGPGIMS, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pradeep","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, SGPGIMS, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jayesh","family":"Sardhara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, SGPGIMS, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kamlesh","family":"Bhaisora","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, SGPGIMS, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anant","family":"Mehrotra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, SGPGIMS, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Arun","family":"Srivastava","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, SGPGIMS, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sushila","family":"Jaiswal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, SGPGIMS, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rabi","family":"Sahu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, SGPGIMS, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Awadhesh","family":"Jaiswal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, SGPGIMS, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sanjay","family":"Behari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, SGPGIMS, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"key-10.4103\/1793-5482.228548-1","first-page":"3","volume-title":"Germ cell tumors of the thalamus and the basal ganglia","author":"Tamaki","year":"1990","journal-title":"Childs Nerv Syst"},{"key":"key-10.4103\/1793-5482.228548-2","first-page":"1282","volume-title":"Primary midbrain germinoma","author":"Kalra","year":"2008","journal-title":"J Clin Neurosci"},{"key":"key-10.4103\/1793-5482.228548-3","first-page":"71","volume-title":"Germinoma involving the basal ganglia in children","author":"Wong","year":"2008","journal-title":"Childs Nerv Syst"},{"key":"key-10.4103\/1793-5482.228548-4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Goswami S, Chakraborty PP, Bhattacharjee R, Roy A, Thukral A, Selvan C, et al.
