Abstract

Spinal ganglioneuromas are benign tumors that often present symptoms related to compression of nerve elements. They are generally rare. Treatment is essentially surgical, generally improves symptoms and is accompanied by a low probability of tumor recurrence. We describe the case of a 49-year-old man with a ganglioneuroma involving the right third sacral nerve root. Revealed by a cauda equina syndrome. Treatment consisted of complete excision of the tumor. The outcome was favorable, with slight recovery of genito-phincter disorders after 6 months.
