title: [Intra-spinal ganglioglioma. A case and review of the literature].
abstract: A case of intra medullary ganglioglioma is reported in a 25 year old woman, who had presented an acute poliomyelitis when she was 2 years old. Since 7 years, new neurological signs occurred with spastic paraplegia, sensitive and sphincter disturbances. Cervical and lumbar myelography showed an intra medullary tumor, extending from C2-C3 to T7-T8. Macroscopically, the lesion was well circumscribed, except on the cervico-dorsal junction where it engulfed the anterior spinal artery. Histologically, the tumor was a ganglioglioma, grade I. Two years after surgery, the patient remains paraplegic. This case is compared with the 13 other cases of the literature.
