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]
