Abstract

There are only a few causes of recurrent intracranial hemorrhage among which a brain tumor like glioblastoma multiforme is one. Glioblastoma multiforme in children under 14 years of age is relatively uncommon than adults. We report a case of unusual presentation of glioblastoma multiforme with recurrent intratumoral bleed with hemiparesis with symptoms free period in between.
