BACKGROUND
Cluster headache (CH) is a primary headache by definition not caused by any known underlying structural pathology. However, symptomatic cases have been described. The evaluation of CH is an issue unresolved.
METHODS
A 41-year-old man presented with a 3-month history of side-locked attacks
Headaches and facial pain have been identified as the most prevalent form of pain among patients with glioblastoma multiforme, the most common malignant primary brain tumour. Despite this, minimal research has been undertaken investigating the direct and indirect impact these headaches have on their
The authors report a case of a 49-year-old man with long-standing, chronic cluster headache (CH) refractory to medical therapy and occipital nerve stimulation that resolved a few weeks prior to the diagnosis of glioblastoma involving primarily the right cingulate gyrus. An attempt to explore the
Background Cerebellar glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is rare and presents with increased intracranial pressure and cerebellar signs. The recommended treatment is radical resection, if possible, with radiation and chemotherapy. Clinical Presentation A 53-year-old man presented with hypertensive
We report a case of 70-year-old man with glioblastoma presenting as acute encephalitic illness. The patient exhibited sudden onset of cognitive impairment and headache for 2 days. Initial brain MRI showed left temporal lobe hyperintensity, and cerebrospinal fluid cytology revealed a mild
BACKGROUND
There are few previous reports of glioblastoma in young adults, in particular, of the very rare recently proposed rhabdoid or epithelioid types.
METHODS
We report 2 cases of glioblastoma with rhabdoid features involving a 27-year-old woman and a 41-year-old man. In case 1, the patient
Aim: To retrospectively assess toxicity and survival in 15 selected Glioblastoma patients treated with a sequential fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) boost after chemo-radiotherapy (CHT-RT) and compare their survival outcomes
Primary spinal glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is very uncommon while an intramedullary spinal GBM with intracranial metastasis is rarely heard of. A 23-year-old male presented with bilateral paraplegia associated with bowel and bladder incontinence. Craniospinal radiograph showed an intramedullary
OBJECTIVE
Inflammatory demyelination occasionally forms a solitary mass lesion clinically and radiographically indistinguishable from glioma, replete with enhancement and mass effect. Termed "tumefactive demyelination" it often prompts a brain biopsy.
METHODS
We undertook neuroimaging and
A 55-year-old man having hemiplegia after the sudden onset of a stroke was referred for rehabilitation. Cerebral angiography had demonstrated occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery and steroid therapy had been started. Attempted tapering of the steroid therapy on admission for rehabilitation
Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common primary brain tumor of adults, as well as the most malignant. Its etiology is unknown, but the tumor is thought to arise through dedifferentiation of adult astrocytes. It occurs most frequently between the ages of 40 and 60, in men more often than in women
A 54-year-old male presented with the history of headache and vomiting. MRI of the head showed right posterior temporal mass which was surgically excised. Histopathological examination revealed features of glioblastoma with pigmented cells. The pigment was demonstrated to be melanin which was
OBJECTIVE
Routine vestibular schwannoma surgery can result in serious and potentially lethal infectious complications. A high degree of vigilance is necessary to diagnose these uncommon infections and in case of postoperative neurological symptoms, brain magnetic resonance imaging should be
Primary cerebellar glioblastomas are exceedingly rare in childhood, with only 19 cases having been reported. We treated a 7-year-old girl with primary cerebellar glioblastoma, who rapidly deteriorated due to cerebrospinal fluid dissemination. The 7-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital with a
UNASSIGNED
5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-guided surgery is one of the gold standard perioperative modalities for maximum resection of malignant gliomas. However, it should be noted that 5-ALA fluorescence does not definitively indicate the presence of malignant tumor cells.
UNASSIGNED
We report a
