Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and the most malignant primary intracranial
tumor in adults and it is usually occurs between the age of 40 and 60 years. It is
local invasive and recurrent tumor and hence that has a poor prognosis. However, recent
advances in tumor surgery, irradiation and chemotherapeutic agent permit long survival
and metastasis which is symptomatic. Previously studies reported spinal metastasis,
but we report a first case of synchronous symptomatic cerebellar and cervical spinal
metastasis after resection of symptomatic thoracic spinal metastasis from temporal
GBM without any recurrence of excision areas.
Key-words:
Glioblastoma multiforme - metastasis - prolong survival - surgical excision
