Post traumatic glioma has been a matter of debate. Few reports favor its occurrence in previous head injury scar, subsequently developing into glioma. Here we report a case of young patient presented with headache, seizures and gradual loss of vision. On investigation found to have brain tumor. Patient had head injury occurred 3 yrs back. It fulfills all the criteria required to establish traumatic origin, further supporting the association.
