Abstract
Primary spinal glioblastoma is very rare. This document describes a case of a 44-year-old female who had a history of gait disturbance and low back pain at first admission. Though myelography, metorizamide CT, and MRI showed an intramedullary mass, the expansion of the mass was not identified. Laminectomy and dural decompression were performed at the level of Th1 to Th12, and a necrotic and invasive intramedullary tumor was found. The histological examination revealed glioblastome multiforma. The patient died 2 months after surgery due to respiratory arrest. The course was extraordinarily rapid.
