Overview

The hallmark of cerebral ganglioglioma is temporal lobe epilepsy.[1] Most common symptoms of spinal cord ganglioglioma include back pain, neck pain, radicular pain, weakness, paresthesia, gait disturbance, and bowel and bladder dysfunction. Less common symptoms of spinal cord ganglioglioma include Brown-Sequard syndrome, acute headache due to subarachnoid hemmorhage, progressive scoliosis, loss of motor function, and frequent falls.[2]

History and Symptoms

  • The tumor presents by focal neurologic deficits due to mass effect. The most commonly involved sites are:

Cerebral lobes Deeper in cerebral tissues Brainstem Cerebellum Spinal cord

  • The most common site of involvement is temporal lobe. Therefore, ganglioglioma is most frequently associated with a complex partial seizure.
