[Bilateral thalamic glioma. A clinicopathological study of 2 cases].
Two cases of bilateral thalamic glioma in a 70 year-old man and a 8 year-old boy, documented by MRI and pathological data are reported. Such tumors are rare. Early symptoms may be misleading, with intellectual impairment or psychiatric disorders together with a normal CT scan. MRI and pathological findings support the view that bilateral thalamic gliomas represent a particular clinico-pathological entity among thalamic tumors.
