Anaplasic ganglioglioma: Cervical-dorso-lumbar leptomeningeal dissemination. About a case. Neurocirugia (Astur). 2020 Apr 04;: Authors: Moreno Flores A, Bernal-García LM, Sosa Cabezas JP, Hidalgo Llorca M, Rodriguez Sanchez JA Abstract Gangliogliomas are well-differentiated, slow-growing tumors. The majority are gradeI of WHO. It appears predominantly in children and young adults. Most are located at the temporal lobe, and as symptomatology more frequent epileptic seizures of difficult pharmacological control. In general, they have a good prognosis after surgical resection. The anaplasic variant, considered to be gradeIII of the WHO, presents greater clinical and radiological aggressiveness. Leptomeningeal dissemination is exceptional in these types of tumors, but when diagnosed it presents a rapidly progressive and fatal course for the patient.
