Abstract:
Ganglionneuroma is slow-growing benign neoplasm that orignates from the sympathetic nervous system. A case of dumb-bell shaped Ganglionneuroma at first and second cervical areas is presented on this paper with chief complaint of neck pain and quadriparesis. The tumor was totally removed under operating microscope and the diagnosis was pathohistologically confirmed. The postoperative result was good and relative literatures were reviewed.
