ABSTRACT
Gangliogliomas are benign tumors, composed of neoplastic astrocytes and nerve cells. They are rare, account for 0.4-6.25% of all primary central nervous system neoplasms. Gangliogliomas affect predominantly infants or young adults. Gangliogliomas are preferentially encountered supratentorially, predominantly affecting the temporal lobe. Spinal gangliogliomas affect predominantly the cervical spinal cord. We report a case of cervical ganglioglioma which was successfully removed surgically, with a review of literature.
