Abstract:
The tendency of glioblastoma to metastasize to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is well documented, reaching approximately 20% in autopsy series. Nevertheless, clinical symptoms from spinal seeding seem to be infrequent or are at least rarely diagnosed. The authors report a case of a 41-year old female patient with a cerebral glioblastoma multiforme who developed paraplegia due to a pathologically confirmed spinal metastasis.
