Overview
The hallmark of cerebral ganglioglioma is temporal lobe epilepsy.[1] Most common symptoms of spinal cord ganglioglioma include back pain, neck pain, radicular pain, weakness, paresthesia, gait disturbance, and bowel and bladder dysfunction. Less common symptoms of spinal cord ganglioglioma include Brown-Sequard syndrome, acute headache due to subarachnoid hemmorhage, progressive scoliosis, loss of motor function, and frequent falls.[2]
