Abstract:
Of the case of malignant astrocytoma, spontaneous transdural extension is very rare. Only several cases of transdural extension of primary intracranial tumor are reported. However, these cases are through the foramina of the skull base. We have experienced a case of malignant astrocytoma which directly extended out through the dura and calvarium near the pterion of the left side.
