Primary cerebellopontine angle glioblastoma in an adult

Asian J Neurosurg. 2017 Jan-Mar;12(1):62-64. doi: 10.4103/1793-5482.145323.

Abstract

Supratentorial glioblastoma is the most frequent primary intracranial tumor in adults. Its localization in the cerebellum is extremely rare and such tumor presenting as cerebellopontine angle (CPA) mass in an adult is even rarer. We report the case of primary cerebellar glioblastoma in a 52-year-old woman who presented clinically and radiologically as CPA mass. Its clinical presentation, radiological findings, and treatment instituted are discussed in view of pertinent literature.

Keywords: Adults; cerebellopontine angle mass; glioblastoma; primary.
