Oligodendroglioma and cerebral cavernous angioma. Case report

The authors report a case of frontal lobe oligodendroglioma associated with a cavernous angioma. The patient presented with signs and symptoms of raised intracranial pressure. Computerized tomography with contrast enhancement failed to detect the vascular component. The clinical and pathological significance of the presence of this vascular malformation in an oligodendroglioma is discussed.
