Abstract: Objective To discuss the etiological relationship between brain trauma and glioma.Methods A case of post-traumatic glioblastoma was reported with regard to his clinical manifestations,imaging features and pathological characteristics, and the related literatures were present. Results This case is consistent with the criteria on the glioblastoma mutiforme following cerebral trauma in literatures.Conclusion The development of a brain tumour following a cortical injury is possible, although rare. The presupposition for the development of a glioma following brain trauma is a predisposing genetic alteration of brain cells.
