  • Title: Intramedullary anaplastic oligodendroglioma in a child.
    Author: Nam DH, Cho BK, Kim YM, Chi JG, Wang KC.
    Journal: Childs Nerv Syst; 1998 Mar; 14(3):127-30. PubMed ID: 9579869.
    Abstract:
    Primary intramedullary anaplastic oligodendroglioma is a rare tumor, only four cases of which have been reported. The authors present the case of a 38-month-old boy with primary intramedullary anaplastic oligodendroglioma. He underwent partial removal of the tumor and spinal radiation therapy. The residual tumor disappeared 12 months after radiation, and 48 months after treatment there was no evidence of recurrence. This case shows that in primary intramedullary anaplastic oligodendroglioma, postoperative radiation therapy confined to the spinal cord can yield an optimal result.
