  • Title: Cervical spinal glioblastoma multiforme in the elderly.
    Author: Shastin D, Mathew RK, Ismail A, Towns G.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2017 Jun 13; 2017():. PubMed ID: 28611074.
    Abstract:
    Spinal glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is uncommon, and its diagnosis may be challenging. This is especially true in the elderly population. Best management strategy remains to be defined. The purpose of this report is to document this rare condition, increase awareness (as a potential differential diagnosis) and propose treatment options in the elderly; a review of the relevant literature is included. A biopsy may be beneficial in given circumstances as cervical spinal GBM carries a better prognosis compared with intramedullary metastasis.
