Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Oligodendrogliomas are the third most common CNS tumour of glial origin. Primary Oligodendrogliomas are very rare spinal cord tumours of intramedullary origin. In the literature only a few cases are reported. These are presented mostly in the old age. These occur most commonly at thoracic cord level and their location at conus caudal level are even rare. We report a case of anaplastic oligodendroglioma(WHO Grade III) in a young aged male patient presenting as a probably fast growing intramedullary spinal cord tumour, which was treated surgically.
