Abstract

We report a case of multiple spinal leptomeningeal metastases from an intracerebral glioblastoma and the original tumor having been an oligoastrocytoma (WHO II). Three time resection of this right frontal tumor with opening of the lateral ventricle preceded intraventricular spread. Diagnosis of spinal dissemination was based on the previous history and Gadolineum-DTPA enhanced MR.
