Case Report

Ishita Pant

Abstract

Tumors of the Central Nervous System (CNS) are rarely reported in patients of Down’s syndrome. The authors report a case of glioblastoma in a 27-year-old male who had Down’s syndrome. An intensive literature search by the authors showed 36 cases of CNS tumors associated with Down’s syndrome, amongst this only 1 case was reported as glioblastoma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case report of glioblastoma associated with Down’s syndrome.
