Perspective Chapter: Glioblastoma of the Corpus Callosum

Glioma is the most common malignant tumour of the brain, in which glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive form which infiltrates through the white fibre tracts. Corpus callosum (CC) is most invaded by GBM, it carries poor prognosis as mostly these tumours are not touched upon due to the belief of post operative cognitive decline, or there is incomplete resection leading to tumour recurrence. However current advancement in technology, operative techniques and better understanding of nature of CC-GBM, maximal safe resection is being carried out with better outcomes in comparison with the GBM without infiltration of CC
