نبذة مختصرة
A 30-year-old male presented with a 2 year progressive course of bowel and bladder dysfunction, mild leg weakness and sensory abnormalities in sacral dermatomes. MRI showed an intra-axial conus medullaris lesion which was excised and identified as a ganglioglioma. The case presents the typical clinical course and histopathology of this unusual lesion which carries a favorable prognosis after gross total removal. Preoperative neurological function in such patients is highly predictive of post-operative outcome.
