E-mail liuweiguo618@ Received Accepted Published Abstract We report one case of brain glioma that developed in the scar of an old brain trauma. A 45-year-old man who presented with seizures MRI showed a large mass in the right temporal region. Surgical biopsy showed a glioblastoma multiforme. The patient had suffered a cranial trauma in a road accident 10 years previously with an intracerebral hematoma in the right temporal region. This case fulfills the established criteria for a traumatic origin of brain tumors and adds further support to the relationship between cranial trauma and the onset of glioma. As stated by other authors an association between head trauma and brain tumor risk cannot be ruled out and should be studied further. Key words head trauma post-traumatic glioma 1. Introduction Until now there are only a few cases in which the relationship between a previous traumatic event and the occurrence of a brain glioma is unequivocally demonstrated on the basis of well accepted criteria. Recently Elisa Anselmi et al. 1 reported two patients who developed brain gliomas in the scar of an old brain injury meet all the criteria for a causal relationship between head trauma and glioma these cases did support the theory of a causal relationship between trauma and gliomas. Here we report one case of glioma that developed in a patient with a previous head trauma which adds further support to the causal relationship between brain trauma and gliomas. 2. Case report A previously healthy 45-year-old .
