| ABSTRACT |
|
A 41-year-old woman presented with generalized symptoms of raised intracranial pressure and memory disturbance for the recent events. Carotid angiography showed concave downward elevation of the septal vein and flattening of the internal cerebral vein. Conray ventriculography revealed fairly symmetrical but irregular contour of the septal shadow and well demarcated round filling defect in the posterior third ventricle. After the ventriculography the patient suddenly fell into catastrophe and expired three days thereafter.
Autopsy revealed glioblastoma multiforme of the septum pellucidum and the thalamus. The authors report this relatively rare tumor. And the symptomatology is discussed. |
