Title: Extradural cord compression due to metastatic oligodendroglioma. Author: Garner J, Morcos Y, Bari M. Journal: J Neurooncol; 2002 May; 58(1):71-5. PubMed ID: 12160143. Abstract: Extraneural metastases from primary intracranial tumours are extremely rare.

We discuss the routes of tumour dissemination and possible reasons for the rarity of cases of metastatic oligodendroglioma.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
