ENSEFALOMALAZİK GÖRÜNÜMLÜ GLİABLASTOME MULTİFORME: OLGU SUNUMU

Year 2012, Volume: 3 Issue: 11, 43 - 46, 03.03.2015

Abstract

GBM bilindiği gibi sık görülen ve en malign olan primer beyin tümörüdür. Cerrahideki tüm gelişmelere ve sonrasında kemoterapi, radyoterapi uygulanmasına rağmen kötü prognozu devam etmektedir. Radyolojik olarak heterojen kontrast tutma, yaygın çevresel ödem ve şift ile karakterizedir. Burada radyolojik olarak ensefalomalazi izlenimi veren ve literatürde oldukça nadir rastlanılan bir glioblastome multiforme olgusunu tanımlandı.

Glioblastome Multiforme with an Encephalomalacic Appearance: A Case Report

Year 2012, Volume: 3 Issue: 11, 43 - 46, 03.03.2015

Abstract

Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common and most malignant primary brain neoplasm. In spite of all the advances in surgery, and applying chemotherapy and radiotherapy afterwards, the prognosis still remains poor. It is radiologically characterized by an appearance of heterogeneous mass with circumferential enhancement and diffuse edema. Here we describe a case of
glioblastoma multiforme with imaging findings mimicking the encephalomalacia that is a very seldom condition observed in English Literature.
