Presentation
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documentation in the english literature of such a presentation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
-
Weakness
A 28-year-old man with history of anaplastic oligodendroglimoma in the left frontal lobe presented with worsening right leg weakness 2 months after surgical resection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cancers that are located in the frontal lobe may cause weakness on one side of the body, personality or behavior changes, and difficulty with short- term memory. [secure.ssa.gov]
If they are in the frontal lobe this may cause gradual changes in mood and personality, weakness or numbness in muscles of one side of the body. [thebraintumourcharity.org]
Gastrointestinal
-
Nausea
The longitudinal analysis showed a significant increase in nausea/vomiting in the RT plus PCV chemotherapy arm during and shortly after chemotherapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Other symptoms include headache, nausea and vomiting, ataxia (difficulty with balance), dizziness and altered mental state. [uclahealth.org]
(WHO grade III) Epidemiology of Oligodendroglioma peak age between 35 and 50 in childhood around 10 men are a little more often affected Symptoms of Oligodendroglioma mainly epileptic seizures as initial sign symptoms of cerebral pressure (headache, nausea [hirntumorhilfe.org]
Musculoskeletal
-
Hip Pain
The patient presented with left hip pain 3 years later. Radiography and computed tomography demonstrated osteosclerosis of the left proximal femur, and MRI revealed an intramedullary metastatic lesion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Leg Pain
We report a case of 67-year-old woman who after 1 month of severe low back and legs pain developed symptoms of raised intracranial pressure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Psychiatrical
-
Dyslexia
Alterations Memory Loss Impaired Vision When it appears in the parietal lobe, it often causes: Disturbances in the sense of touch Problems with balance and coordination Inability to maintain concentration and perception of sensory and visual senses Dyslexia [cancerwall.com]
Neurologic
-
Seizure
We describe a unique case, whereby a patient presenting with seizures and slight impairment of higher functions, underwent frontal lobectomy for a mass lesion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Headache
A case of anaplastic oligodendroglioma with femoral metastasis is presented in a 37-year old male with a 2-year history of progressive headaches and dizziness associated with a 2-month history of epilepsy and right hemiparesis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Personality Change
The most common symptoms are seizures, headaches, and personality changes. Other symptoms vary by location and size of the tumor. [abta.org]
Symptoms may include seizures, headaches, and personality changes. Other symptoms may vary depending on the location and size of the tumors including short-term memory loss, visual loss, motor weakness, and language problems. [diseaseinfosearch.org]
-
Generalized Seizure
A 17-year-old woman presented with an anaplastic oligodendroglioma manifesting as generalized seizure. Neuroimaging studies revealed a right frontal tumor. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However, the patient didn’t perform any control and presented to our hospital in 2010, July, for a generalized seizure; MRI showed a considerable growth of the previously detected lesion, which presented hyperintense in T2 flair images with some nodular [jneuro.com]
-
Papilledema
The symptoms of increased intracranial pressure, such as headache, visual disturbances, and papilledema, are generally associated with intraventricular lesions. [dovepress.com]
Among 323 patients from an AFIP series, the most common clinical signs were paralysis (50%), visual loss (49%), papilledema (47%), ataxia (39%), abnormal reflexes (37%), and meningismus (10%) (,6). [pubs.rsna.org]
Workup
Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histopathologic tissue sampling are routinely performed as part of the diagnostic workup for patients with glioma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
We hypothesized that chemotherapy would impair HRQOL during treatment but that there would be a similar HRQOL between treatment arms once off treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
The only clinical relevant meaning of this histologic diagnosis was the observation that the prognosis of OD was in general better than that of astrocytic tumors of similar grade. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis A prognosis is an estimate of the likely progress of a disease after a diagnosis, based on an average patient group. [braintumour.ca]
Etiology
Etiology The etiology is not known but no hereditary forms of oligodendroglioma have been reported. However, specific genetic characteristics, such as loss of chromosomes 1p and 19q, are observed. [orpha.net]
Epstein-Barr virus infection has been implicated in the etiology of primary CNS lymphoma. [cancer.gov]

We therefore performed an analysis of AO patients in the population-based Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. [journals.plos.org]
Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology of the seeding of intracranial tumours via the cerebrospinal fluid is reviewed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology Oligodendrogliomas arise in the cerebral hemispheres and are distributed among the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobe, in approximately a 3:2:2:1 ratio. [emedicine.medscape.com]
All of these pathophysiological mechanisms, in addition to many other general factors, such as stasis, the presence of inflammation, dysproteinemia, infections, and entrapment, contribute to the hypercoagulable state. [dovepress.com]
Prevention
This case emphasizes the importance of considering this diagnosis to prevent unnecessary irradiation of such rumours. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Clinical trials look at new ways to prevent, find and treat cancer. Find out more about clinical trials. [cancer.ca]
Research is exploring ways to prevent or treat cancer through vaccines. Gene therapy uses viruses or other vectors to introduce new genetic material into tumor cells. [mayfieldclinic.com]
