ABSTRACT

Ganglioneuroblastoma is a tumor derived from neuroblasts, generally related to sympathetic structures, which is usually located in the adrenal gland. In this article, we present a rare case of a patient with cervical ganglioneuroblastoma, who developed sleep disorders since the first year of life due to compression of the airway.
