Abstract:
Ganglioneuromas are a rare, benign mass, with fewer than 20 cases reported to date with an estimated incidence of 1/40,000. These masses are less frequently found in the sacral region. Although typically benign, these masses can present with discomfort, including abdominal pain, back and pelvic pain, and in some instances, may progress to malignant transformation. Here, we present a rare presentation of a sacral ganglioneuroma in a young female presenting with abdominal pain. We aim to emphasize the importance of multimodal imaging, as well as highlight imaging findings of this rare sacral mass.

Collateral Ganglia
Sympathetic preganglionic axons reach the collateral ganglia along the route of splanchnic nerves. These nerves bypass the sympathetic trunk and communicate with sympathetic postganglionic neurons housed in the prevertebral ganglia. These ganglia supply the organs of the abdominopelvic cavity.
The greater splanchnic nerve, formed by the...
