Ganglioglioma is a rare, slow-growing brain tumor made up of both neuron and glial cells, accounting for about 1% of all brain tumors. These tumors are usually benign and do not spread to nearby tissue, but in rare cases, they can become cancerous.
Often found near the temporal lobes, gangliogliomas commonly cause seizures. Other symptoms may include headaches, dizziness, vision issues, weakness, and difficulty swallowing.
Most gangliogliomas occur randomly with no known cause, though a BRAF gene mutation is found in 10% to 60% of cases, also seen in other tumors.
At Southern California Brain & Spine Surgery, we create personalized treatment plans for Ganglioglioma brain tumors. Surgery is the primary treatment, aiming to remove as much of the tumor as possible. If complete removal isn’t feasible or the tumor is high-grade, radiation therapy may be used to target remaining cancer cells. In cases of progressive or recurrent tumors, chemotherapy or targeted therapy, such as BRAF-inhibiting drugs, may be recommended to shrink or destroy tumor cells effectively.
We begin by reviewing your medical history and conducting a comprehensive neurological exam to assess reflexes, muscle strength, eye and mouth movement, coordination, and alertness. Our advanced diagnostic tools, trusted by top neurosurgeons and neurologists, ensure precise diagnoses and guide effective treatment plans. Technologies we use:
