Leptomeningeal Dissemination Complicated With Acute Tetraplegia From a Supratentorial Multicentric Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (IDH)-Wildtype Glioblastoma: A Case Report.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a major concern for neurosurgeons and oncologists, being a malignant tumor with a high recurrence rate and reduced survival. Leptomeningeal dissemination (LMD) of GBM is rare and difficult to diagnose due to the low rate of cellular detection in the cerebrospinal fluid and clinical and imaging similarities with fungal and tuberculous meningitis. We report the case of a 25-year-old female patient suffering from multicentric GBM who developed hydrocephalus and extensive LMD three months after surgery for a left frontal parafalcine cerebral GBM isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-wildtype.
