Abstract
A patient with a ganglioglioma in the basal ganglia is presented. An 1 8-year-old man presented with involuntary movement in his right hand a nd right homonymous hemianopsia. Computed tomography and magnetic reso nance imaging revealed a cystic tumor with an enhancing nodule in the basal ganglia extending into the thalamus. The mass was totally resect ed by a trans-distal Sylvian approach and was histologically proven to be a ganglioglioma. This is a rare case of midline ganglioglioma in a patient who underwent gross total resection.
