ABSTRACT
A 10-year-old boy had a right posterior parietal glioblastoma 5 years after completing treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Interim findings included seizures, leukoencephalopathy, diffuse mineralizing microangiopathy, and abnormal changes in neuropsychological test performance, which, in retrospect, provided information about the location of the tumor. This case highlights unusual sequelae of childhood leukemia and its treatment, as well as the value of neuropsychological procedures in assessing functional status and integrity of the brain.
