AI Article Synopsis
- Glioblastoma is a highly aggressive brain cancer, characterized by abnormal astrocytic cells along with various other cell types and necrotic regions.
- It typically occurs in the brain and spinal cord, with rare instances in the third ventricle.
- The case presented involves a 22-year-old male, highlighting the unusual location of the tumor and the challenges of surgically accessing glioblastoma in the third ventricle.
Article Abstract
Glioblastoma, also known as glioblastoma multiforme, is an aggressive type of cancer that is made up of abnormal astrocytic cells, but also contain a mixture of different cell types (including blood vessels) and areas of necrosis. It is often seen in the brain and spinal cord, but glioblastomas are rarely found in the third ventricle. In this case, it was diagnosed in a 22-year-old male patient and we intended to draw attention to its atypical localization and surgical access to this third ventricle glioblastoma.
