Abstract

The reported incidence of oligodendrogliomas in the paediatric population is less than 1 %. The posterior fossa is a rare location, with the vast majority arising in the cerebral hemispheres. We report the first paediatric case of a WHO grade II oligodendroglioma arising in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA). CPA oligodendrogliomas in children appear to behave aggressively and adjuvant therapy must be considered early; especially when complete resection cannot be achieved.
