Article Synopsis
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major global health issue, often resulting in serious health complications, and there is growing evidence of the immune system's role in TBI's effects.
- This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of new immunomodulatory therapies for TBI by reviewing multiple studies, including randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

We are reporting a rare case of a giant lumbar spine ganglioneuroma by outlining the clinical presentation, radiological finding, management, and outcome.
