Abstract

A case of multiple ganglioneuroma arising along the entire length of the cervical sympathetic chain of one side of the neck is described. This is a distinctly unusual site and distribution of the disease and computed tomography proved invaluable to demonstrate its extent, in addition to excluding involvement of more caudal regions.
