Overview
When evaluating a patient for oligoastrocytoma, you should take a detailed history of the presenting symptom (onset, duration, and progression), other associated symptoms, and a thorough past medical history review. Other specific areas of focus when obtaining the history include review of the history of any ionizing radiation, allergic diseases, and the family history for any brain tumors. Symptoms associated with oligoastrocytoma include seizure, headache, nausea, vomiting, loss of balance, vision loss, and changes in speech, mood, and personality.
