ABSTRACT

Brain stem gliomas are rare intracranial tumors, especially in adults. Malignant or high-grade brain stem gliomas are usually associated with a very poor prognosis. This case report documents an adolescent harboring brain stem glioblastoma who had complete radiological response to temozolomide after partial tumor resection and survived for more than 3 years. Radiological and pathological findings are described. To the best of our knowledge, no similar cases have been reported in the literature.
