Overview
Common physical examination findings of ganglioglioma include weak irregular pulse, hypertension, wide pulse pressure, unilateral pupillary dilatation, abnormal ophthalmic examination, and focal neurological deficits.[1]
Physical Examination
Common physical examination findings of ganglioglioma include:
Vital Signs
- Pulse may be weak and irregular
- Pulse pressure may be widened
- Elevated blood pressure
HEENT
- Unilateral dilatation of pupil
- Ophthalmoscopic exam may be abnormal with evidence of the following findings:[1]
- Hyperemia of disc
- Loss of venous pulsations
- Retinal hemorrhage
- Blurring of disc margins
- Flame shaped hemorrhages
Neurologic
- Hemiparesis may be present
