Abstract

Some of the more unusual patterns of recurrence in previously treated low grade gliomas are demonstrated. As treatment choices develop and life expectancy is prolonged, patterns of tumour recurrence are likely to change within such a heterogeneous group of tumours, including metastatic spread via cerebrospinal fluid pathways.

Keywords: Low grade glioma; Metastasis; Recurrence.
