Intracranial ganglioneuromas in children.
Two cases of tumours of the sellar and suprasellar region in children, manifested clinically by visual and endocrine disturbances, are reported. In both cases surgical removal of the intracranial tumour was performed. The histological diagnosis was central ganglioneuroma, an extremely rare tumour in children. Also worthy of note was the altogether exceptional location in these children of central ganglioneuromas in the sellar and suprasellar region.
