  • Title: Pediatric cerebellar cystic oligodendroglioma: case report and literature review.
    Author: Baysefer A, Düz B, Erdoğan E, Deveci MS.
    Journal: Turk J Pediatr; 2004; 46(1):95-7. PubMed ID: 15074384.
    Abstract:
    Oligodendrogliomas rarely occur in the posterior fossa of childhood and constitute approximately 1% of pediatric brain tumors. Only six pediatric posterior fossa oligodendroglioma cases have been reported to date and none of them were cystic. The authors present a seven-year-old girl with cystic, cerebellar midline localized tumor. A standard suboccipital craniectomy was performed and the tumor was histologically confirmed as oligodendroglioma. After operation the patient underwent radiation therapy and at one the-year follow-up, no recurrence of the tumor was observed.
