Abstract
Gangliogliomas are rather infrequent lesions of the central nervous system that account for 0.4%–1.3% of all brain tumors, with a higher incidence in infancy [13, 18]. The term ganglioglioma was originally proposed by Ewing in 1926 (cited in [16]). Due to their low frequency, most reports on these tumors are casuistic, and except for the study by Henry et al. [11], only a few minor series have been published [3, 5, 12, 18]. During the past 5 years we have operated on 51 patients with gangliogliomas and report on our findings here.
