A Case of Glioblastoma Multiforme Masquerading as Rapidly Progressive Dementia

Tarun Mathur and Sonali Mathur

A 65 years old male presented with 2 months history of rapidly progressive cognitive decline in form of forgetfulness, anomic aphasia and limb apraxias accompanied by change in behavior without clinical suspicion of any space occupying lesion but on neuroimaging was found to have grade 4 glioblastoma involving the left temporoparietal region. Supratentorial gliomas can present with cognitive/behavioral changes but such a presentation in isolation without overt signs of raised intracranial pressure inspite of rapid evolution is rare and has not been described till now to the best of our knowledge.
