Neuronal and mixed neuronal-glial tumors are less frequent than glial tumors. They are characterized by variable grade neuronal and
glial differentiation, are less aggres-sive than glial tumors and have a good prognosis.Tumors in this group include ganlioglioma/gangliocytoma, dysembryoplastic neu-roectodermal tumor, desmoplastic infantile astrocytoma/ganglioglioma, dysplastic gangliocytoma of the cerebellum, papillary glioneural tumor, rosette-forming glio-neural tumors, diffuse leptomeningeal glioneural tumors; cerebellar liponeurocyto-mas; central and extraventricular neurocytomas; and paragangliomas. These tumors are low grade tumors except for anaplastic ganglioglioma. They can be treated with total surgical resection with good clinical results .
In this review, we aimed to review the characteristics of neuronal and mixed neu-ronal-glial tumors.
