Gangliogliomas are neoplasms with neuronal and glial components. The most common location is the temporal lobe and for that reason those patients have seizures as the major complaint. Gangliogliomas with anaplastic features are uncommon. A 33-year-old man presented with a two-year history of
Gangliogliomas of the spinal cord are very unusual and the anaplastic variant of these tumors is extremely rare. In spinal anaplastic gangliogliomas, malignant changes (hypercellularity, vascular proliferation, necrosis, high numbers of mitotic figures) are typically evident in the glial element of
We describe a rare case of desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma that appears to have transformed into a glioblastoma multiforme tumor in a 5-year-old girl. The patient was initially treated with total removal of the tumor, without subsequent radiation therapy or chemotherapy. She was in good health
Desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma is a rare superficial supratentorial tumor that occurs within the first two years of life. Despite the worrisome radiological and histological appearance, the tumors are often curable following gross total resection. Tumors with similar characteristics are
A 17-year-old male presented with acute onset paraparesis in the lower limbs. Urinary retention was present and the patient required catheterisation. Clinical examination confirmed severe bilateral lower limb weakness and a sensory level at T8. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a
Two childhood cases of spinal cord ganglioglioma are described. Both cases showed a remarkable similarity in presentation, radiologically and morphologically. The first case was a 6 1/2-year-old boy who had ganglioglioma involving the entire length of the spinal cord. He has been suffering from a
BACKGROUND
Ganglioglioma is mostly found in cerebral parenchymal, and it is rarely located in the ventricular system. To date, ganglioglioma within the ventricular system has been reported in only 10 cases. Its prognosis and relationship with complicating hydrocephalus are unclear.
METHODS
A total
Gangliogliomas are rare central nervous system neoplasms. The clinical features, radiological findings and surgical results in 6 histologically proven cases of gangliogliomas in the cerebral hemisphere are reviewed. The ages varied between 8 and 58 years old at the time of diagnosis. Five patients
A 40-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of disorientation and mild left-sided weakness. Radiological examination revealed a solid and cystic tumor in the right temporal lobe, and total resection was performed. Histologically, the tumor was composed mainly of low-grade gangiloglioma
BACKGROUND
Ganglioglioma is an uncommon type of primary brain tumors. In most of the cases the tumor demonstrates benign clinical behaviour with long-term patients' survival. We present two cases ofhistologically confirmed anaplastic ganglioglioma in which malignant progression into a glioblastoma
Hyperhidrosis is caused by a sympathetic dysfunction of the central or peripheral nervous system. Intramedullary spinal cord lesions can be a cause of hyperhidrosis. The authors report a rare case of intramedullary thoracic spinal cord ganglioglioma presenting as hyperhidrosis. This 16-year-old boy
OBJECTIVE Magnetic resonance-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRgLITT) is a novel, minimally invasive treatment that has multiple advantages in pediatric use and broad applicability for different types of lesions. Here, the authors report the preliminary results of the first series of
A 30-year-old male presented with a 2 year progressive course of bowel and bladder dysfunction, mild leg weakness and sensory abnormalities in sacral dermatomes. MRI showed an intra-axial conus medullaris lesion which was excised and identified as a ganglioglioma. The case presents the typical
A 17-year-old retarded male developed unilateral leg weakness with foot drop, pain, and incontinence. Workup disclosed a cauda equina tumor which, on surgical exploration, was demonstrated to merge with the conus medullaris. Pathological examination of the subtotally resected tumor led to a
Intramedullary spinal cord tumors (IMSCTs) of the pediatric population are rare and comprise thirty-five percent of intraspinal neoplasms. Low-grade astrocytomas predominate; ependymomas increase in frequency with ascending age and become the most frequent IMSCT in adults. Gangliogliomas are very
