Abstract

A 35-year-old woman presented with a bilateral thalamic glioma manifesting as dysesthesia over the left side of the body and mental deterioration. T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging revealed enlarged bilateral thalami with homogeneous isointensity and no enhancement after gadolinium administration. Histological examination of a stereotactic biopsy specimen identified anaplastic astrocytoma. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy failed to arrest tumor growth. She subsequently died. Magnetic resonance imaging and clinical findings support the view that bilateral thalamic gliomas represent a distinct clinicopathologic entity among thalamic tumors.
