Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) as a pathogenetic factor in glioma remains controversial, and currently there is still no clear mechanism behind post-TBI glioma. Thus, we provide two case reports of post-TBI glioma contributing power to this research, and we provide a summary of the mechanisms of post-TBI glioma through literature review.
Methods: We report two cases of brain gliomas that developed in the scar of a previous brain trauma. Both patients were male and both had suffered prior traumatic brain injuries (time interval 10-20 years), and postoperative pathological findings reported glioblastoma and WHO grade III glioma, respectively.
Results: These two cases further support the association of between traumatic brain injury and gliomas development.
Conclusion: Although the epidemiological investigation between TBI and glioma is still controversial, there are still some important aspects here that can determine the possibility between TBI and gliomagenesis. Besides, we found that the reparative response of neural stem cells and the dysregulation of inflammatory cells are timportant theories of the mechanism of post-TBI glioma.

Objective: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) following traumatic brain injury (TBI) is very rare and has not been comprehensively characterized by current literature. This systematic review aimed to characterize demographics of patients with post-TBI GBM.
Methods: A systematic review of case studies and case series was conducted for reports published up to April 2023.

The role of prior head trauma in stimulating brain tumor development has been previously described in the literature but continues to be debated. The goal of this study was to conduct a systematic review interrogating the contemporary literature to delineate any possible relationship between traumatic brain injury and brain tumor development. A systematic review exploring development of post-TBI brain tumor was conducted by searching electronic databases.
