Abstract:
We report five cases of ganglioglioma in various locations. The tumours were removed with gross total resection in most cases without any further neurological deterioration. Without any additional treatment, no evidence of recurrence or regrowth of tumours was observed in the mean follow-up period of 4.1 years. We suggest that intramedullary spinal cord gangliogliomas be resected totally due to the high risk of recurrence and regrowth rate of the tumours with subtotal resection in the long term considering especially that these tumours affect predominantly young patients.
