Overview
When evaluating a patient for oligodendroglioma, you should take a detailed history of the presenting symptom (onset, duration, and progression), other associated symptoms, and a thorough past medical history review. Other specific areas of focus when obtaining the history include review of common risk factors such as family history of brain tumors.[1] Common symptoms associated with oligodendroglioma include seizure, headache, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, changes in speech, mood, and personality, visual loss, diplopia, strabismus, muscle weakness, and numbness.[2][3][4][5]
