[Multicentric gliomas. Report of a case (author's transl)]

The criteria of culticentric gliomas, based upon histological data, were recently defined (Bartzdorf et al. 1963) and permits us to distinguish them clearly from multiple gliomas. The authors report an atypical case of glioma for which the diagnosis of multicentric gliomas has been established after anatomical and histological studies. Physiopathological hypotheses are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the clinical pictures, diagnostic techniques as well as evolution and therapeutic aspects.
