Abstract

Ganglioglioma, is commonly seen in children, is the rare tumor of the nervous system. This tumor is composed of a mixed type of neuronal as well as glial cells. It is very rare in adults. This tumor is often supratentorial showing the layout, much less often show as cerebellar location. This lesion, which is generally quite less frequently, showed as cystic and calcified tumors. Calcified cerebellar ganglioglioma was detected in forty-six-year-old female patient with headache and gait disturbance. Our goal is to present that calcified cerebellar ganglioglioma seen in adult patients, is to make the tumor localization rarely encountered.
