Nonepileptic Seizures in a Patient with Frontal Lobe Oligodendroglioma

Oligodendrogliomas accounts for 30% of all intracranial gliomas, usually affecting young patients in late twenties to the mid forties. Seizures are often the initial presentation in up to 75% of patients because tumor commonly involves the cortex. With the widespread availability MRI, an increasing number of patients are diagnosed from scans for unrelated symptoms (eg, migraine, vertigo, head trauma). Here we present a case of a patient with nonepileptic seizures, who had further workup with neuroimaging and was found to have low grade glioma. It is common for low grade glioma to present with seizures, however it's uncommon for it to present with nonepileptic seizures.
