- Abstract
Herein, we present two cases of isolated suprasellar dissemination of glioblastoma in patients with well-controlled primary lesions. A 22-year-old woman and a 56-year-old woman developed rapid growth of suprasellar glioblastoma dissemination 26 and 17 months after initial surgery, respectively. Both patients presented with acute visual impairment (decreased acuity and visual field disturbances) but lacked severe pituitary dysfunction. During surgery for the disseminated tumors, gross total tumor resection was difficult due to intraoperative findings suggesting optic pathway invasion. Both patients developed further intracranial dissemination within several months post-surgery. The presence of solitary sellar and suprasellar dissemination may indicate a terminal stage.
