[Cerebral gliomatosis. An anatomoclinical case]

Gliomatosis cerebri is a glial neoplastic process. It is diffusely distributed through brain structures whose anatomical configuration remains intact. Clinical diagnosis of this rare disease is difficult. The symptoms are varied and biological and radiological data are not specific. The case reported shows the characteristic features of the disease. Diagnosis was possible only on autopsy, in spite of several previous clinical and biological investigations and nuclear magnetic resonance study.
