We present a case of a 70-year-old male with gliomatosis cerebri (GC), who initially presented with behavioural changes and amnesia, which progressed to extrapyramidal and cortical dysfunction. Neuroimaging revealed possible extensive cerebral gliomatosis and brain biopsy showed reactive gliosis. Despite treatment with levodopa-carbidopa, the symptoms worsened, and he succumbed after 18 months. This case highlights the challenges in diagnosing and managing GC in a resource-poor setting.
