Head trauma and brain tumours revisited.
The authors report a case of an anaplastic astrocytoma which on magnetic resonance imaging and direct visualisation was continuous with an area of gliosis in the left frontal lobe. This gliosis was secondary to a head injury received 19 years earlier that required evacuation of an intracerebral haematoma. This case largely meets the accepted criteria for brain tumour associated with head trauma.
