  • Title: Infratemporal and intraorbital metastasis of the glioblastoma multiforme. A case report.
    Author: Erdem A, Tun K, Ugur HC, Erekul S.
    Journal: Neurochirurgie; 2004 Jun; 50(2-3 Pt 1):101-4. PubMed ID: 15213638.
    Abstract:
    Primary brain tumors rarely metastasize outside of the central nervous system. A case of 37-year-old woman with a temporal lobe glial tumor which shows infratemporal and orbital invasion is presented. She had undergone a cranial operation because of temporal lobe epilepsy 8 years ago. Defects on the dura and bone flap were thought to be the mechanisms of the infratemporal fossa invasion. The case illustrates extra-axial metastasis of glioblastoma multiforme, an exceptional finding.
