Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Gliomatosis cerebri (GC) is an uncommon entity characterised by the diffuse overgrowth of large parts of the brain by glial cells. Reports in the literature often refer to adult patients, its occurrence in children being even more rare. CASE REPORT: We report the case of an 8-year-old boy with GC and discuss the problem of intra vitam diagnosis.Entities:
