Overview

Patients with ganglioglioma may progress to develop local recurrence. Complications that can develop as a result of ganglioglioma are metastasis and local recurrence. Prognosis is generally good with treatment.^[1]

Natural History

Patients with ganglioglioma may progress to develop local recurrence. Symptoms are usually slowly progressive. Due to their non-specific nature, the diagnosis is often delayed.

Complications

Common complications of ganglioglioma include:

Metastasis
Local recurrence

Prognosis

The prognosis of ganglioglioma is good with treatment, and the 10-year survival rate of children with ganglioglioma is approximately 90%.^[2]
