Types of a Brain Tumor oligodendrogliomas

Oligodendrogliomas

This type of tumor also arises from the supporting cells of the brain. They are found commonly in the cerebral hemispheres (cerebrum). Seizures are a very common symptom of these tumors, as well as headache, weakness, or changes in behavior or sleepiness. This tumor is more common in persons in their 40s and 50s. These tumors have a better prognosis than most other gliomas, but they can become more malignant with time.
