In that study, patients with spinal cord ganglioglioma had a 3.5-fold higher relative risk of tumor recurrence compared to patients with supratentorial ganglioglioma. It has been recognized that postoperative results correlate closely with preoperative neurological status as well as the ability to achieve complete resection. With the exception of WHO grade III anaplastic ganglioglioma, radiation therapy is generally regarded to have no role in the treatment of ganglioglioma. In fact, radiation therapy may induce malignant transformation of a recurrent ganglioglioma several years later. Adjuvant chemotherapy is also typically reserved for anaplastic ganglioglioma, but has been used anecdotally in partially resected low grade spinal cord gangliogliomas which show evidence of disease progression.

Seven of 61 cases with EVD68 detected and eight long‐term follow‐ups had full recovery; two deaths were described in severely immunocompromised people (one with EVD68 and one with both EVD68 and coxsackie A16 detected).Six of 10 children in Denver were sent home for outpatient treatment. Some of the children with mild and moderate cases have recovered partially from temporary limb weakness but still have permanent weakness,  whereas those with more severe cases have not recovered as much. Intensive physical therapy and occupational therapy may be beneficial for recovery. Epidemiology
A seasonal pattern is seen in outbreaks, with a marked increase in cases reported in the late summer and early fall.The CDC has determined and submitted to GenBank complete or nearly complete genomic sequences for three known strains of the virus, which are "genetically related to strains of EV-D68 virus that were detected in previous years in the United States, Europe, and Asia. "While rates of paralytic symptoms appear to be correlated with the number of respiratory infections, in initial anecdotal reports, the cases are not clustered within a family or school, suggesting that the paralysis per se is not directly contagious, but arises as a very rare complication of the common respiratory infection.Cases of similar illnesses have been reported in Canada, Northern Europe, and Japan. Over 90% of reported cases are in children.
