摘要
Gliomatosis cerebri is a rare and typically fatal tumor of neuroepithelial origin causing a diffuse infiltration of brain structures with mild or negligible destruction of parenchymal architecture. Very few cases have been reported in children. A 6-year-old boy who presented with worsening hemiplegia, behaviour problems and seizures after an episode of encephalitis-like illness is reported. MRI revealed diffuse signal change and swelling of the left cerebral hemisphere. The diagnosis of gliomatosis cerebri was confirmed by brain biopsy. Parents refused radiotherapy and the child worsened and died 6 months after diagnosis.
