Spontaneous Intracranial Hemorrhage Caused by Oligodendroglioma

Abstract

Spontaneous intracranial hemorrhages caused by brain tumor are very rare. The authors experienced a case in which a 32-year-old male with an oligodedroglioma who exhibited a spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage including subdural, subarachnoid and intracerebral hemorrhaging. A brief review of literature on the mechanism of hemorrhage in patients with brain tumors, particularly glioma, was undertaken.
