Description Gliomatosis cerebri is the diffuse infiltration of white and gray matter with neoplastic glial cells of varying levels of differentiation. The cerebral hemispheres are more commonly affected, with involvement of the cerebellum, brain stem, and medulla being less common. MRI should be used as a primary imaging study in the evaluation of GC and for the determination of the target points for image guided stereo biopsy.Radiation therapy according to literature in GC is associated with a temporary improvement in or stabilization of clinical symptoms in the majority of these cases.
