Abstract:
Gangliogliomas (GGs) are rare central nervous system neoplasms composed of neuronal and glial cells. This report details a rare case of a 32-year-old male patient with an incidentally discovered cerebellar GG following a motor vehicle accident. The literature review highlights the variability in symptoms, age, and imaging findings, emphasizing the importance of considering GG in differential diagnoses for infratentorial tumors. The patient's treatment involved subtotal resection due to the risk of significant neurological deficits, with ongoing monitoring for recurrence. This case demonstrates a generally favorable prognosis of cerebellar GGs when appropriately managed surgically.
