چکیده
In this article, we report on a rare case of spinal seeding from a cerebral anaplastic oligodendroglioma presenting with signs of medullar compression. We discuss the prevalence, mechanisms and imaging findings of spinal seeding in various gliomas. A suitable clinical treatment and follow up for these patients is suggested.

متن کاملBone marrow metastasis in anaplastic oligodendroglioma. - PubMed - NCBI
Abstract Oligodendroglioma is a rare primary brain tumour. These tumours rarely metastasis extraneurally because of the absence of a lymphatic system, the presence of the blood-brain barrier and the patient's poor overall survival. Oligodendroglioma may spread via the cerebrospinal fluid or after surgical intervention. Metastasis to bone marrow is extremely rare. Oligodendroglioma is now consid...

Two years after the initial treatment, several tumors appeared on his neck ...
متن کاملAddition of Anti-Angiogenetic Therapy with Bevacizumab to Chemo- and Radiotherapy for Leptomeningeal Metastases in Primary Brain Tumors
Leptomeningeal dissemination of a primary brain tumor is a condition which is challenging to treat, as it often occurs in rather late disease stages in highly pretreated patients. Its prognosis is dismal and there is still no accepted standard of care. We report here a good clinical effect with a partial response in three out of nine patients and a stable disease with improvement on symptoms in...
