Abstract

The metastasis of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) to spine via cerebrospinal fluid pathways is not often. We present an intracranial GBM case metastasized to spine after local treatment of cranial lesion with surgery and chemoradiotherapy. One year after the first presentation of cranial GBM, patient presented low back pain and lower limb weakness. Lomber magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination demonstrated L1 intradural mass. Excisional biopsy showed GBM.
