Gangliogliomas are mixed neuronal-glial type tumors of the
central nervous system (CNS). Gangliogliomas are rare
tumors that present histological features and biological
behavior of low-grade malignancy. Gangliogliomas account
for about 0.5% of all CNS tumors, and they generally occur
in childhood. Gangliogliomas make up about 8.0% of CNS
tumors in children. These tumors are mostly localized in the
supratentorial region and often present with seizures. Surgery
is the first choice of treatment. We present a case of a 14-yearold
male who presented with headache, with vomiting added
recently. A left temporal mass was detected during investigations.
The mass was totally resected surgically. The pathology
was reported as ganglioglioma. The patient is being followed
sufficiently in our clinic.
