Authors report a rare case of dumb-bell ganglioneuroma in the neck of a four-year-old child. The mass was in the left anterior neck and grew slowly over several years.
Neurological deficits. Cervical spine X-rays showed an enlargement of intervertebral foramens and widening of interpedicular distances at lower cervical level. The surgery was performed at different stages for a total removal of the intra and extraspinal masses. |
