We report a unique case of an elderly woman who was initially treated for a right cerebellar DMGHA.

The subsequent workup revealed a right cerebellar mass. A diagnosis of DMGHA was confirmed by histological studies and molecular profiling, and she was treated with gross total resection followed by protocol-based chemoradiation. At 12 months after surgery and treatment, surveillance imaging showed a new isolated enhancing mass in the septum pellucidum. She underwent another gross total resection with an anterior interhemispheric approach. Pathology confirmed a diagnosis of DMGHA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>We report a novel case of recurrent distal spread of a right cerebellar DMGHA to the septum pellucidum. Although several putative mechanisms may be hypothesized to account for the very unique pattern of disease spread including simple multifocal disease, retrograde CSF dissemination may be the most likely mechanism. This is due to the lack of radiographic evidence for subcortical or hematogenous spread, and the interface between both enhancing masses and the CSF compartment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2780-4173","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,12]],"date-time":"2026-01-12T23:41:18Z","timestamp":1768261278000},"page":"e1-e5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Intracranial
