Supratentorial glioblastoma is a common primary intracranial tumor in adults. High-grade glioma in cerebellopontine angle (CPA) is rare. We describe a case of adult-type diffuse high-grade glioma of CPA in a 49-year-old female that was managed surgically at our institute. Glioblastoma is an infiltrating type of glioma (WHO grade 4). MRI helped in characterizing the lesion; however, diagnosis was confirmed on histopathology. This report aims at the imaging pattern of primary adult-type diffuse high-grade glioma (WHO grade 4) at cerebellopontine angle.
