What is gliomatosis cerebri?

Gliomatosis cerebri is a very rare type of tumor affecting the brain. It can affect people of any age from infants to old. This kind of cancer can develop in different parts of the brain, so the symptoms may vary depending on the areas of the brain that are affected. Usual symptoms include headache, hydrocephalus, vomiting, unsteadiness, cognitive problems and symptoms of increased pressure inside skull. Treatments include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of them. Because gliomatosis cerebri may spread in the brain early, the prognosis is not good.
