“…Other reported features included limb weakness, gait instability, blepharospasm, diabetes insipidus, and panhypopituitarism ( 14 ). Furthermore, it was also reported that GGs often occurred with cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea ( 15 ) and dissemination of cerebrospinal fluid ( 16 ). In the only one reported GGs located in the medulla oblongata, the 7-year-old boy was admitted to hospital with complaints of ataxia, seizure and sleep apnea ( 6 ).…”

Ganglioglioma (GG) is a rare kind of intracranial tumor with low potential malignancy (WHO grade I), which could occur in any part of the brain. However, a patient with anaplastic ganglioglioma (WHO grade III) in the medulla oblongata is a more peculiar and rare clinical case. In our report, we presented a case of a 45-year-old man with anaplastic ganglioglioma (WHO grade III) in the medulla oblongata, who was perplexed with dysphagia, choking and left-sided numbness for two and a half years. The head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a 2.7 cm × 2.6 cm lesion in the medulla oblongata with slightly low signal on T1 weighted image (T1WI) and heterogeneous high signal without calcifications on T2 weighted image (T2WI). The Physical Examination manifested that the patient showed a chronic appearance, along with the damage of oculomotor nerve, glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves and spinal thalamus lateral tract and rope body. Subsequently, the patient underwent surgical and common radiotherapy treatment, which might delay the tumor recurrence and contribute to a better overall survival. Unexpectedly, tentative chemotherapy was carried out when the tumor showed the recurrence trend and anaplastic feature. Our presentation of this case would emphasize the rarity and significance of the diagnosis, differentiation and treatment of such tumors, demanding more clinical cases for exploration.

“…Expansile lesions in the nervous system have been the subject of recent studies in the radiology literature of Brazil (6)(7)(8)(9)(10) . On magnetic resonance imaging, they are typically solitary, circumscribed, solid-microcystic, intraventricular, and exophytic (2,4,5) .…”

“…MRI studies have come to play an ever more important role in the evaluation of patients with neurological diseases ( 4 - 7 ) . On MRI, the sporadic and inherited forms of CJD usually present areas of high signal intensity in T2-weighted and FLAIR sequences, with restricted diffusion, in the cerebral cortex and the basal ganglia, especially the striatum, in a focal or diffuse, symmetric or asymmetric form, sparing the region around the rolandic cortex and the thalami ( 3 ) .…”
