Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive glioma that is infrequently diagnosed in the paediatric population. GBM and other primary brain tumours have rarely been associated with paraneoplastic syndromes. We report an unusual case of an 8-year-old boy presenting with an inability to abduct his left eye and almost complete ophthalmoplegia of his right eye, prior to any radiological evidence of GBM. This is the first documented case of paediatric GBM presenting with bilateral asymmetric ophthalmoplegia.

Objective: Gliomas are a general designation for neuroepithelial tumors derived from the glial cells of the central nervous system. According to the histopathological and immunohistochemical features, the World Health Organization classifies gliomas into four grades. Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody targeting vascular endothelial growth factor that has been approved for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) as a second-line therapy.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive brain disorder which leads to gradual decline in memory, thinking, behaviour and social skills. The current scenario for drug development is based on neuro-inflammation and oxidative stress. Amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition, a major hallmark of the disease activates microglia leading to neuro-inflammation and neuro-degeneration induced by activation of COX-2 via NFkB p50 in glioblastoma cells.

RNF7 (Ring Finger Protein 7) is a key component of CRLs (Cullin-RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligases) and has been found to possess intrinsic anti-ROS capabilities. Aberrant expression of RNF7 has been observed in various tumor types and is known to significantly influence tumor initiation and progression. However, the specific role of RNF7 in glioblastoma remains unclear.

Background: Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild-type (IDH) glioblastomas (GB) are more aggressive and have a poorer prognosis than IDH mutant (IDH) tumors, emphasizing the need for accurate preoperative differentiation. However, a distinct imaging biomarker for differentiation mostly lacking. Intratumoral thrombosis has been reported as a histopathological biomarker for GB.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most lethal type of primary brain tumor, necessitating the discovery of reliable serum prognostic biomarkers. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of serum Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in GBM patients. Bioinformatics analysis via gene set enrichment analysis was conducted on The Cancer Genome Atlas RNA-seq data to explore the pathways enriched in samples with high expression.
