A Rare Case of Cerebellar Glioblastoma Multiforme and Supratentorial Oligodendroglioma Presenting as Synchronous Primary Brain Tumors

並列摘要


We report the first known case of synchronous infratentorial glioblastoma multiforme (iGB) associated with a frontotemporal oligodendroglioma. A 44 year old female presented to the Neurosurgical clinic with a 2 month history of vomiting which was projectile in nature. It was associated with generalized body weakness and one episode of altered mental status where she was described to suddenly fall out of bed and start praying in a loud voice. There was no hematemesis or association with food intake or seizures. There were no known co-morbidities and a negative family history. She was repeatedly treated with anti-emetics and antibiotics prior to presentation before having an MRI which showed space occupying lesions in two different areas of the brain along with obstructive hydrocephalus. The patient made an uneventful recovery following surgery however she expired one week after discharge while undergoing oncological review.
