Giant cell glioblastoma manifesting as traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage--case report

Neurol Med Chir (Tokyo). 2002 Dec;42(12):568-71. doi: 10.2176/nmc.42.568.

Abstract

A 33-year-old male presented with intracerebral hemorrhage in the left temporoparietal region after a traffic accident. Ten months later, the traumatic hemorrhage was found to originate in an underlying giant cell glioblastoma. Our case indicates that non-traumatic underlying pathologies, such as vasculopathies, coagulopathies, or tumors, should be considered in the differential diagnoses of intracerebral hemorrhage occurring in unusual locations after traumatic accidents.
