Diffuse midline glioma H3K27-altered with thoracic epidural metastasis: illustrative case
This case demonstrates an operative view in the metastasis of DMG H3K27-altered to the spinal epidural space without visceral or osseous metastasis. The possibility of spinal epidural metastasis and its surgical treatability should be considered if patients with DMG present spinal cord symptoms. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25249.
