Overview
If left untreated, patients with ganglioglioma may progress to develop local recurrence. Prognosis is generally good with treatment.[1]
Natural History
Symptoms are usually slowly progressive. Due to their non-specific nature, the diagnosis is often delayed.
Complications
Complications that can develop as a result of ganglioglioma are:
- Metastasis
- Local recurrence
Prognosis
Without treatment, ganglioglioma in the spinal cord will result in local recurrence. The prognosis of ganglioglioma is good with treatment.
