Abstract
Three cases of pseudocysts following surgery and chemotherapy for glioblastomas are reported. Their clinical picture was similar, consisting of intracranial hypertension without primary modification of focal signs. CT scanning has been able to detect the cystic aspect and to eliminate a true tumour recurrence. Medical treatment (steroids or Mannitol) seems inefficient. Evacuation of the cyst is the only efficient method of treatment.Entities:
