The dura provides an excellent protection against infiltration by malignant
tumours.
It is extremely rare for glial tumour cells to infiltrate the dura
and subsequently invade adjacent structures.
We report an interesting case
of glioblastoma of the temporal lobe with spontaneous transdural spread to
the skull base and infratemporal fossa.
This is the first radiologically
documented case of transdural spread of glioblastoma before and after the
spread without previous craniotomy.
