Intramedullary "holocord" oligodendroglioma: case report
Acta Neurochir (Wien).
1991.
Abstract
Primary spinal cord oligodendrogliomas are rare tumours. Only 3 holocord cases have been reported in the literature. We present a primary intramedullary "holocord" oligodendroglioma in a 13 year-old male. Scoliosis was the initial symptom. Neurological deterioration prompted MRI, which demonstrated the lesion. Total removal was achieved. This case shows that meticulous surgery may obtain an optimal result in holocord oligodendrogliomas. 2 years after surgery, the young patient has made an excellent recovery.
