Giant spinal ganglioneuroma.
Ganglioneuromas are rare benign tumours, which may affect any part of the spine and spinal cord. They occasionally grow to a large size but total excision using microsurgical techniques is often possible, and may be curative. This case report illustrates the clinical and histopathological features of two rare giant ganglioneuromas of the spinal cord.
