Abstract

Gliomatosis cerebri of oligodendroglial origin is very unusual. In the present article we illustrate a case of this pathology, outlining his severity and suggesting it seems to be more aggressive than the astroglial type. We give a short focus about the diagnosis and the therapy of this neoplastic disease.
