The cases of 15 children operated on for cerebral pure oligodendroglioma were studied. Two groups of children were distinguished. Group I children presented with epilepsy (7 cases); their tumor was histologically benign in all cases. These children are all alive after a median follow-up of 72 months: however, 2 of them presented with a local recurrence, which was operated on, and are actually disease-free. Group 2 children presented with intracranial hypertension (8 cases); the tumor was anaplastic in 7 cases. Despite postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy 6 children died; their median survival time was 17 months. The present series shows the existence of a clear correlation between clinical presentation, histological grading and survival in childhood cerebral oligodendrogliomas.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images.

D009837 Oligodendroglioma A relatively slow-growing glioma that is derived from oligodendrocytes and tends to occur in the cerebral hemispheres, thalamus, or lateral ventricle. They may present at any age, but are most frequent in the third to fifth decades, with an earlier incidence peak in the first decade. Histologically, these tumors are encapsulated, relatively avascular, and tend to form cysts and microcalcifications. Neoplastic cells tend to have small round nuclei surrounded by unstained nuclei. The tumors may vary from well-differentiated to highly anaplastic forms.

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
