Abstract:
Cases of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) metastasizing to the leptomeninges or the intramedullary spine are rare and their prognosis are relatively poor. We present a case of supratentorial glioblastoma WHO grade IV which was later diagnosed to have cervical intramedullary metastasis 7 months after the primary surgery.

Metastasis
7.0K
Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

Spinal Cord: Gross Anatomy
7.6K
The spinal cord resides within the protective confines of the vertebral column. It is the main pathway for information traveling between the brain and the body. It plays a fundamental role in nearly all bodily functions, from simple reflexes to complex motor movements. The spinal cord begins at the medulla oblongata at the base of the brainstem and extends downward, terminating at the conus medullaris near the first and second lumbar vertebrae. The spinal cord's length in adults is...
