Lateral Intraventricular Glioblastoma Multiforme – Case Report

Abstract

Background: Although glioblastoma multiforme is the most common malignant primary brain tumor, it rarely presents in the intraventricular region(s) of the brain. Case presentation: We report a unique case of intraventricular glioblastoma multiforme in a 62-year-old Hispanic female, distinguished by her lack of substantial tumor recurrence. Conclusions: Our report suggests the importance of understanding management and treatment of intraventricular glioblastoma multiforme in neurosurgical patients. In addition, our study emphasizes the importance of treating intraventricular glioblastoma multiforme in patients, as survival rates and post-operative quality of life can results in improved function.
