ABSTRACT
Among the intracranial glioma, primitive glioma is very rare. We report a case of primitive glioma involving left parietofrontotemporal lobe of 8-year-old boy who had about 12 months duration of right sided hemiparesis, headache, vomiting and papilledema. CT scan showed a large, well defined round area of low density with peripheral rim of high density and high density small mass suggesting mural nodule in left frontoparietotemporal region. A left frontoparietotemporal osteoplastic craniotomy was carried out. A small nodule and cystic membrane containing pale yellowish colored proteinous cystic fluid were almost totally removed without difficulty. Postoperatively, the right hemiparesis and headache gradually cleared. Pathologic diagnosis was primitive glioma.
