Glioblastoma in the pineal region is extremely rare with only a few cases reported in the literature.
A 68-year-old man presented with a sudden deterioration manifesting as a headache, vomiting and gait disturbance. A magnetic resonance imaging study revealed a heterogeneously ring-enhanced mass in the pineal region. The mass was subtotally removed through the occipital transtentorial approach, and diagnosed as a glioblastoma.
We discuss the clinical course, radiological findings and treatment strategies of pineal glioblastoma with a review of the relevant literature.
松果体区胶质母细胞瘤极为罕见,文献中仅有少数病例报道。
一名68岁男性,突然出现病情恶化,表现为头痛、呕吐和步态障碍。磁共振成像研究显示松果体区有一个不均匀环状强化肿块。通过枕下经小脑幕入路对肿块进行了次全切除,诊断为胶质母细胞瘤。
我们结合相关文献讨论了松果体区胶质母细胞瘤的临床病程、影像学表现及治疗策略。
