Cystic ganglioneurocytoma of the lateral ventricles.
A 52-year-old woman displayed a brain-MRI depicting a left lateral ventricle mass, associated with cystic component, extending controlaterally. Histological examination revealed neuronal differentiation with neurocytes and small ganglionic cells and the tumour was graded as a ganglioneurocytoma. We report the first case of a cystic ganglioneurocytoma with an intraventricular location.
