Resumen

Los ganglioglioma son tumores bien diferenciados, de crecimiento lento, compuestos por una mezcla de células ganglionares maduras y gliales. La mayoría son de gradoI de la OMS. Aparecen predominantemente en niños y adultos jóvenes. La mayoría se localizan a nivel del lóbulo temporal, y la sintomatología más frecuente son las crisis epilépticas de difícil control farmacológico. En general tienen buen pronóstico tras la resección quirúrgica. La variante anaplásica, considerada gradoIII de la OMS, presenta mayor agresividad clínica y radiológica. La diseminación leptomeníngea es excepcional en estos tipos de tumores, pero cuando es diagnosticada presenta un curso rápidamente progresivo y fatal para el paciente.

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.
