RESUMEN
La Gliomatosis Cerebri (GC) se define como un compromiso infiltrativo difuso de un tumor glial generalmente astrocítico que compromete al menos 3 lóbulos cerebrales de manera bilateral y usualmente la afección se extiende al tallo cerebral. Su incidencia representa aproximadamente el 1% de la totalidad de los tumores encefálicos y se presenta con mayor frecuencia en adultos jóvenes. El diagnóstico se establece por medio de la clínica, la imagenología y confrimación histológica. Las posibilidades terapéuticas son limitadas y la sobrevida cercana a los 2 años mostrando una alta mortalidad. Reportamos el caso de un paciente masculino de 11 años de edad quien fue atendido en el Hospital Militar Central de Bogotá Colombia donde se realizó el diagnóstico y se instauró el tratamiento
ABSTRACT
Gliomatosis Cerebri (GC) is defined as a diffuse infiltration of a glial tumor generally astrocytic that involves at least 3 cerebral lobes bilaterally and usually the condition extends to the brainstem. Its incidence represents approximately 1% of all brain tumors and occurs more frequently in young adults. The diagnosis is established for the clinic environment, imaging and histological confirmation. The therapeutic possibilities are limited and the survival close to 2 years showing a high mortality. We report the case of an 11-year-old male patient who was treated at the Central Military Hospital of Bogotá Colombia where the diagnosis was made and treatment was instituted
