摘要

A 27-year-old man case of Gliomatosis Cerebri in a Young Patient Showing Various Cranial Nerve Manifestations. He was diagnosed as having cranial mononeuritis multiplex (bilateral oculomotor nerve paralysis, left facial nerve paralysis, bulbar palsy manifestations, hypoglossal nerve paralysis), and he was hospitalized in the neurology department on August 1, 2000. Although he continued to visit the neurology department after discharge, his manifestations showed no improvement. He was sent to our department for brain biopsy in August 2001. Biopsy was performed at the Sylvian fissure from the frontal lobe/temporal lobe cortex which showed high intensity on T2-weighted and Flair MRI. The pathological findings were diffuse low-grade astrocytoma infiltrating between the pia mater and the cerebral cortex.
