Common symptoms associated with oligodendroglioma include:^[1]^[2]

 *[[hemiparesis|Muscle weakness]]
 *[[Numbness]]
-In anywhere from fifty to eighty percent of cases, the first symptom of an oligodendroglioma is the onset of  activity. They occur mainly in the [[frontal lobe]] thus affecting personality.
-[[Headaches]] combined with increased [[intracranial pressure]] are also a common symptom of oligodendroglioma. Depending on the location of the tumor, any neurological deficit can be induced, from visual loss, motor weakness and cognitive decline. A [[Computed Tomography]] (CT) or [[Magnetic Resonance Imaging]] (MRI) scan is necessary to characterize the anatomy of this tumor (size, location, heter/homogeneity). However, final diagnosis of this [[tumor]], like most tumors, relies on [[histopathologic]] examination ([[biopsy]] examination).
