A rare solitary glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in the third ventricle caused obstructive hydrocephalus and neurological symptoms in a 59-year-old man. This case highlights the importance of considering rare intraventricular neoplasms in differential diagnoses.

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Neuropathology

Background:

  • Intraventricular neoplasms are rare intracranial tumors, with solitary third ventricular lesions being exceptionally uncommon.
  • Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) typically occurs as a supratentorial tumor, making its presentation within the third ventricle a rare occurrence.

Observation:

  • A 59-year-old male presented with progressive gait disturbance, disorientation, headache, and vomiting.
  • Radiological imaging (CT and MRI) revealed a solitary, ring-enhancing lesion in the third ventricle causing obstructive hydrocephalus.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination of the resected lesion confirmed the diagnosis of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).
  • The solitary nature and intraventricular location of this high-grade glioma were notable.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the need for a broad differential diagnosis in patients with third ventricular masses.
  • Understanding the clinical and radiological presentation of rare GBM locations is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.
  • Further research into the origins and optimal treatment strategies for intraventricular GBM is warranted.
