Zusammenfassung:Oligodendrogliomas occur primarily in the cerebral hemispheres of adults. A rare case of an oligodendroglioma in the cerebellum of a child is presented. The tendency for oligodendroglioma to metastasize through the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is reviewed and emphasized. A recommendation for CSF cytology and possible spinal axis irradiation in the treatment of oligodendrogliomas is made.
