Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Pediatric cerebral ganglioneuroblastoma is an exceedingly rare tumor. CASE DESCRIPTION:We describe the case of a 4-year-old boy with sudden mental status decline who was found to have a large intracranial lesion with intraventricular extension. CONCLUSION:Management of the case and pathologic findings are discussed, along with a review of the literature on this rare entity.
