A 78-year-old male patient developed gait disturbances, increasing left hemianopsia and left visual impairment for several weeks. The patient did not present clinical or anamnestic evidence of systemic disease. The MRI examination revealed a 3 cm contrast enhancing, right parieto-occipital lesion with marked edema and involvement of the posterior horn of the lateral right ventricle as well as infiltration of the splenium of the corpus callosum (Fig. 1a, 1b, 1c). The neuroradiological features were suspicious of a high grade glioma. The patient underwent surgical operation through an occipital craniotomy. The lesion was completely resected.
