Metastasis of intracranial glioblastoma via the cerebrospinal fluid to the spine is a rare occurrence with a poor prognosis. We hereby present a rare case of GM in a 28-year-old man, who developed intramedullary, extramedullary, as well as spinal leptomeningeal metastasis 6 months after surgery of supratentoriel glioblastoma multiforme.

Keywords: Glioblastoma; Intramedullary; Leptomeningeal; Spinal Metastasis
