The authors report the case of a nine-year-old boy admitted with raised intracranial pressure in relation with a tumour of the right lateral ventricle. Complete removal of the lesion was achieved and pathological diagnosis was glioblastoma multiform. Adjuvant radio and chemotherapy was given, but the child died from a recurrence of the disease one year after diagnosis. In addition, last MRI demonstrated, distant from the initial tumor site, an extra-cerebral lesion that is supposed to be a glioma metastasis rather than a radio-induced tumour.
