We present a case of a 48 year-old man with a previously radiologically-stable left temporal lobe glioblastoma presenting with symptoms referrable to the spinal cord. MRI revealed a spinal cord lesion, with the differential including transverse myelitis and tumour. Open surgical biopsy revealed high-grade astrocytoma. Genetic analysis of both the supratentorial and spinal tumours revealed R132H IDH1 mutations, providing evidence that the spinal cord lesion had spread from the supratentorial tumour.Copyright © 2016 | DOI: | http://monash.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jocn.2016.11.010 | PubMed URL: | 28089418 [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=28089418] | ISSN: | 0967-5868 | URI: | https://repository.monashhealth.org/monashhealthjspui/handle/1/39496 | Type: | Article | Type of Clinical Study or Trial: | Case series or case report |
