title: Posterior fossa ganglioglioma--an unusual cause of hearing loss.
abstract: Intracranial or spinal gangliogliomas of the CNS are rare tumours. Although several cases have been reported over the years, controversy still remains as to their origin, treatment and prognosis. A case of an eight-year-old girl with a ganglioglioma in the cerebellum with extension into the cerebello-pontine angle is described. The histological basis of the diagnosis is discussed and a review of the literature is presented.
