ABSTRACT
The incidence of sudden death due to undiagnosed primary intracranial tumor is very low in forensic autopsy practice. The ganglioglioma is a well differentiated, slow growing primary brain tumor that is encountered predominantly in childhood. We report a sudden, unexpected death in a 6-year-old girl from a ganglioglioma. On autopsy, there was an intraventricular tumor with recent hemorrhage, occupying the anterior aspect of the lateral ventricle and resulting in hydrocephalus. Acute intratumoral hemorrhage appears to be the mechanism of sudden death.
