ABSTRACT

The present report describes a case of a glioblastoma which affected both thalamic regions, mainly in the left side. Contrast MRI showed lesions situated in both thalamic regions having no continuity between ea- ch other. The patient was operated and a subtotal resection of 60% in both tumors was made. The histopa-thological study reported Glioblastoma Multiforme.
