Superior Sagittal Sinus Invasion by Malignant Glioma: Case Report and Literature Review
Arq. bras. neurocir; 38 (1), 2019
Publication year: 2019
Anaplastic oligodendrogliomas (AOs) correspond to 23% of all oligodendrogliomas.
They correspond to a tumor with malignant histological characteristics, focal or diffuse,
associated with a worse prognosis. In the present case report, we describe the case of a
30-year-old female submitted to resection of a right parietal lesion whose histology
showed to be an AO. She underwent complementary treatment with chemotherapy
and radiotherapy according to the Roger Stupp protocol. Four years after the initial
diagnosis, there was tumor recurrence within the superior sagittal sinus, with no
evidence of recurrence elsewhere. In the literature, we have found no similar published
case reinforcing the rarity of this condition.
