    Author: Onal C, Bayindir C.
    Journal: Childs Nerv Syst; 1999 May; 15(5):219-21. PubMed ID: 10392491.
    Abstract:
    Gliomatosis cerebri is a glial neoplastic process that is diffusely distributed through neural structures, whose anatomical configuration remains intact. Among the more than 19,000 cases hospitalized in Istanbul University Istanbul School of Medicine Department of Neurosurgery throughout the past 45 years, only 2 cases were diagnosed as gliomatosis cerebri, 1 by stereotactic ante-mortem diagnosis and the other after autopsy. In this paper, the autopsy-proven case of this rare disease with coexistent neurofibromatosis--the sixth case reported in the literature--is presented.
