Abstract:
Intracranial germinoma usually occurs in the pineal and suprasellar regions. It is relatively rare that germinoma occurs in the thalamus and basal ganglia. The authors report a case of germinoma involving the posterior part of thalamus and basal ganglia involving the posterior part of thalamus and basal ganglia. The patient was 20 years old male who complained left side hemiparesis for 2 months. A successful result was obtained through radiation therapy after partial removal of tumor mass.
