Abstract
Primary spinal cord tumors in children are uncommon and account for approximately 5% of all pediatric central nervous system tumors. Intracranial metastases from primary spinal cord tumors have rarely been reported. Spinal cord glioblastoma in children mainly involves the thoracic region, whereas involvement of the medullaris conus with intracranial dissemination has been described in six cases. This paper describes a pediatric case of thoracic glioblastoma multiforme with intracranial dissemination in the early stage of the clinical course and discuss the clinical and neuroradiological manifestations, the possible patterns of dissemination and finally to consider the therapeutic implications.
