Spinal Ekilme Metastazlı Glioblastoma Multiforme Olgusu

Glioblastoma Multiforme GBM tüm beyin tümorleri arasında en sık görülen kötü prognozlu bir tümordur. GBM hastalarında semptomatik spinal metastazlar nadir görülür. Bu yazıda 37 yaşında GBM tanısı ile eş zamanlı saptanan spinal ekilme metastazlı bir olgu ve spinal ekilme için risk faktörleri sunulmuştur. Risk faktörleri olan olgularda erken spinal görüntüleme ve erken tedavi ile bu hastaların hayat kalitesi arttırılabilir

GLIOBLASTOMA MULTIFORME WITH SPINAL SEEDING METASTASES

Glioblastoma Multiforme GBM is the most common primary malignancy of the brain tumours with poor prognosis. Symptomatic spinal metastases are rarely seen in GBM patients. Herein we report 37 year old GBM case who has been diagnosed with concurrent spinal metastases and also risk factors for spinal seeding. In cases owning risk factors, the quality of life may improve with early spinal metastasis screening and early treatment
