J Neurosurg. 1985 Jan;62(1):142-4. doi: 10.3171/jns.1985.62.1.0142.

Abstract

Gangliogliomas are rare tumors, primarily seen in patients under the age of 30 years. They occur least commonly in the spinal cord. This report presents a 2 1/2-year-old boy who harbored an intramedullary conus tumor with the light microscopic appearance of a ganglioglioma. The neurobiological behavior of this tumor is yet to be determined.
