Spinal cord ganglioglioma is a rare tumor most often encountered in the first three decades. Scanty computed tomography (CT) reports on the tumor describe it as a hypodense or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dense area with little contrast enhancement despite its solid nature. We report two cases of spinal ganglioglioma both involving almost the whole spinal cord. On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the tumors appear hypointense to the spinal cord on T1 and hyperintense to the cord on T2 images, and were mainly solid at exploration. It is important to recognize these tumors as long survival can be achieved after surgical resection.
脊髓节细胞胶质瘤是一种罕见肿瘤，多见于生命的前三十年。关于该肿瘤的计算机断层扫描（CT）报告较少，将其描述为低密度或脑脊液（CSF）密度区域，尽管其实质为实性，但增强扫描时强化不明显。我们报告两例脊髓节细胞胶质瘤，均累及几乎整个脊髓。在磁共振成像（MRI）上，肿瘤在T1加权像上相对于脊髓呈低信号，在T2加权像上相对于脊髓呈高信号，手术探查时主要为实性。认识到这些肿瘤很重要，因为手术切除后可实现长期生存。
