Neoplasms of septum pellucidum are rare. Only 124 cases have been published to which we must add the present case report. The literature is concerned with subependymomas and glioblastomas in most cases; there are only 13 cases of oligodendrogliomas. Surgical removal was performed in about 60 cases. This report presents one case of oligodendroglioma of the septum pellucidum which was surgically removed; it demonstrates the peculiar angiographic features of this kind of tumor, stresses the importance of CT scan in the determination of the possibility of surgical removal and finally discusses the therapeutic problems involved.
