title: Oligodendrogliomas in children.
abstract: Oligodendrogliomas are quite uncommon in children. In a 41-year period (1935 to 1975) in Connecticut, 12 histologically verified cases of oligodendrogliomas were noted in persons less than 20 years of age, constituting between 1% and 2% of all primary intracranial neoplasms in Connecticut children. Eleven of the neoplasms occurred in the cerebral hemispheres; these cases of cerebral oligodendrogliomas were reviewed and analyzed.
