Abstract

In general, Glioblastomas multiforme frequently occurs in supratentorial region but in less than 4% occur in the posterior fossa predominantly in the cerebellum, and spinal cords tumors represents 6% to 8% of all central nervous system tumors and spinal cord glioblastomas occur only in 1.5% of all spinal cords tumors. We presents two cases a male whit posterior fossa glioblastoma and a girl with spinal cord glioblastoma in both cases, MRI is the study of choice with high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis, after that they underwent biopsy and the results of pathology described GBM in both cases. The treatment of election is radiotherapy plus chemotherapy and surge if is possible, the prognosis is poor even with treatment, thats is why we need to identify new therapeutic strategies; We currently believe it is necessary to use genetic platforms to identify possible therapeutic targets.
