Description

Ganglioglioma is an uncommon nervescell tumour (0,4% of all brain tumours). In 800 brain tumours in children, Garrido et al. (Toronto) found 14 gangliogliomas (1.7%). To our knowledge, ganglioglioma has not been reported in children under 2 1/2 years of age. We have incidentally discovered a ganglioglioma in a 3-day-old-girl. Appearence on US, CT and MR are described and discussed. (orig.)
