title: Ischaemic stroke in the setting of glioblastoma: A case series and review of the literature.
abstract: Ischaemic strokes are an uncommon occurrence in the setting of glioblastoma, and clinically challenging due to co-existing deficits from the tumour, but important to consider as a possible cause of clinical deterioration. Modern therapies and their associated improvements in survival may lead to a greater overall incidence. The possible underlying causes of ischaemia are multiple, and several factors may contribute in a given patient. This review discusses the causative mechanisms of ischaemic strokes in the setting of glioblastoma, with some illustrative cases.
