Oligodendrogliomas (OGD) are glial tumors, together with mixed oligoastrocytoma constituting 5-20% of all gliomas,
which occur predominantly in younger populations and are managed with surgery and chemotherapy with good long-term
prognosis after treatment and additionally present with low rates of metastases. We present the case of a 46-year-old patient with
intracranial right frontal subcortical OGD [World Health Organisation (WHO) grade II] managed at the Neurosurgery Department
in Foscal Clinic, Floridablanca, Colombia. Two years after brain surgery the patient presents with neurological symptomatology
suggestive of Spinal Cord Compression and is found to have a neoplastic lesion with extramedullary compressive strength on
the conus medullary and wrapping all of the roots with the final report of pathology and immunohistochemistry indicating: OGD
(WHO grade III), this lesion was the only one found, the brain studies shows any residual tumor or recurrence in the primary
tumor site.
