*Ganglioneuromas are rare tumors that most frequently start in the autonomic nerve cells, which may be in any part of the body. The [[tumor]] are usually noncancerous ([[benign]]).
 
*Ganglioneuromas usually occur in people ages 10 to 40. They grow slowly, and may release certain chemicals or [[hormones]].

*If the tumor has been present for a long time and has pressed on the spinal cord or caused other symptoms, surgery to remove the tumor may not necessarily reverse the damage.
*[[Paralysis]]
*Compression of the spinal cord may result in loss of movement ([[paralysis]]), especially if the cause is not detected promptly.
*[[Metastases]]
*Surgery to remove the tumor may also lead to complications in some cases. However, rare, persistant problems due to compression may occur even after the tumor is removed.
*Local recurrence

==Prognosis==
Most ganglioneuromas are noncancerous. The expected outcome is usually good. A ganglioneuroma may, however, become cancerous and spread to other areas, or it may come back after removal.
