Overview
Common physical examination findings of ganglioglioma include weak irregular pulse, hypertenion, wide pulse pressure, unilateral pupillary dilatation, abnormal ophthalmic examination, and focal neurological deficits.
Physical Examination
Common physical examination findings of ganglioglioma include:
1. Vitals
Pulse
Rhythm
- Pulse may be irregular
Strength
- Pulse may be weak
Blood Pressure
- Hypertension may be present
- A wide pulse pressure may be present
2. Eyes
- Unilateral dilatation of pupil
- Ophthalmoscopic exam may be abnormal with findings of:[1]
- Hyperemia of disc
- Loss of venous pulsations
- Retinal hemorrhage
- Blurring of disc margins
- Flame shaped hemorrhages
3. Neurologic
- Focal neurologic deficits, including hemiparesis, may be present
