Post-traumatic malignant glioma: case report and review of the literature.
Posttraumatic gliomas have been described, but in none of these has there been documented evidence of absence of tumour at the time of the injury. We report a case of post-traumatic malignant glioma with radiological evidence of only a contusion prior to the development of the tumour.
