Stroke associated with glioblastoma.

B H Dobkin

    Bulletin of Clinical Neurosciences
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Glioblastoma multiforme can mimic stroke syndromes. These brain tumors were discovered months after initial stroke-like symptoms in two patients, highlighting a diagnostic challenge.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuro-oncology
    • Neurology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Stroke syndromes are common neurological emergencies.
    • Glioblastoma multiforme is an aggressive primary brain tumor.
    • Accurate diagnosis of stroke mimics is crucial for timely treatment.

    Observation:

    • Two patients presented with symptoms typical of stroke.
    • Imaging studies were performed several months after symptom onset.
    • Glioblastoma multiforme was identified in the area of infarction in both cases.

    Findings:

    • One glioblastoma caused a mass effect leading to occlusion of a sylvian branch artery, mimicking embolism.
    • The second glioblastoma infiltrated the origin of the middle cerebral artery, simulating atherothrombosis.
    • Both neoplasms presented as stroke mimics on arteriography and CT scans.

    Implications:

    • Glioblastoma multiforme should be considered in the differential diagnosis of stroke, especially in atypical presentations or when symptoms persist.
    • Advanced neuroimaging techniques are essential for differentiating neoplastic processes from vascular events.
    • This finding underscores the importance of comprehensive diagnostic workups for neurological deficits.
