Primary oligodendroglioma of the lateral ventricle.
Oligodendrogliomas rarely occur primarily in the ventricular system. We have reported a case of primary oligodendroglioma in the right lateral ventricle. The tumor was partially resected, a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was placed, and the patient had postoperative radiation therapy. She is asymptomatic at six months' follow-up.
