Gliomatosis cerebri, a rare diffusely infiltrating astrocytoma, was discovered on the postmortem examination of a 22-year-old woman with a 13 year history of seizures. Computed tomography of the brain revealed bifrontal white matter low density changes that were most consistent with a demyelinating or dysmyelinating disorder.
