Abstract
Primary intramedullary spinal glioblastoma multiforme (sGBM) with a secondary cerebral manifestation is a very rare entity with a poor outcome. Case studies show a mean average of survival of 10 months after diagnosis. These tumors tend to develop at a young age. A combination with an arteriovenous malformation in the same location has never been published before. Vascular malformations in association with cerebral glioblastomas have only been reported in five cases so far. Proangiogenic factors are assumed to be involved in the appearance of both entities. We present a case study and a review of the literature.
