| Popis: | Astrocytomas are the most common intramedullary spinal cord tumors in pediatric and adolescent patients and the incidence decreases with age. Spinal oligoastrocytoma, which is a mixed glioma with distinct astrocytic and oligodendroglial components, is an extremely rare pathology of the spinal cord. To authors' best of knowledge, there are only 7 spinal oligoastrocytomas reported in the English literature. Here, the authors report a patient of a pathologically confirmed spinal oligoastrocytoma, who presented with severe left leg pain and numbness. This patient reminds us of the rarity of spinal oligoastrocytoma, and the treatment and prognosis were also investigated and reviewed. |
