Resumen
JIMENEZ-ZAPATA, Herbert D. et al. Cervical spine ganglioneuroma and its relationship with neurofibromatosis type 1. Cir. cir. [online]. 2022, vol.90, n.4, pp.534-539. Epub 19-Ago-2022. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.20000991.
Ganglioneuromas are slow growing tumours arising from tissues of the neural crest, mainly in autonomic nervous system. They are frequently localized in the posterior mediastinum being the intraspinal involvement very uncommon. We present the case of a female patient with bilateral cervical ganglioneuroma, together with a review of the cases published to date, emphasizing in the main characteristics of these tumours and including them as part of neurofibromatosis type 1 spectrum.
