Abstract
BACKGROUND
The rare co-occurrence of oligodendroglioma and arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the same intracranial location.
CASE SUMMARY
In a 61-year-old man presenting with progressive headaches, is described in this case study. Preoperative multimodal imaging techniques (computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, digital subtraction angiography, and computed tomography angiography) were employed to detect hemorrhage, cystic and solid lesions, and arteriovenous shunting in the right temporal lobe. The patient underwent right temporal craniotomy for lesion removal, and postoperative pathological analysis confirmed the presence of oligodendroglioma (World Health Organization grade II, not otherwise specified) and AVM.
CONCLUSION
The preoperative utilization of multimodal imaging examination can help clinicians reduce the likelihood of misdiagnosis or oversight of these conditions, and provides important information for subsequent treatment. This case supports the feasibility of craniotomy for the removal of glioma with AVM.
Core Tip: This case report details the rare co-occurrence of oligodendroglioma and arteriovenous malformation in a 61-year-old male. Preoperative multimodal imaging, including computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, digital subtraction angiography, and computed tomography angiography, was crucial in accurately diagnosing the combined pathology, guiding the successful surgical removal. This study underscores the importance of comprehensive imaging to prevent misdiagnosis and highlights the feasibility of craniotomy for treating this rare condition.
