Abstract
Spinal-cord astrocytomas are rare, comprising only 1% of all primary central nervous system tumors. Malignant astrocytomas grade III and IV account for only 7.5% of intramedullary spinal gliomas occurring in all age groups and for as few as 1.2% of primary intramedullary tumors in children. The frequency of primary intramedullary with intracranial metastasis is relatively rare in childhood and such case has not been reported in Korea. Here we report a case of spinal cord glioblastoma multiforme with intracranial metastasis, who showed eight segments of spinal cord(T3-T10) involvement and cerebellar vermis metastasis. Histologically, glioblastma multiforme was confirmed.
Key Words: Spinal cord, Astrocytomas, Glioblastoma multiforme, Intracranial metastasis
