Résumé
There are only a few causes of recurrent intracranial hemorrhage among which a brain tumor like glioblastoma multiforme is one. Glioblastoma multiforme in children under 14 years of age is relatively uncommon than adults. We report a case of unusual presentation of glioblastoma multiforme with recurrent intratumoral bleed with hemiparesis with symptoms free period in between.

A 10-month-old female child presented with intermittent high grade fever, pain and diffuse swelling in the left knee joint with history of ecchymosis in different areas of the body. There was radiological features of acute osteomyelitis, low fibrinogen level and bacteremia due to the presence of coagulase positive staphylococcus aureus. The child responded nicely to the treatment for acute osteomyelitis and congenital hypofibrinogenemia. So, in congenital hypofibrinogenemia, a joint swelling might be a resultant of an acute osteomyelitis, not mere hemarthrosis.
