H3K27-altered diffuse midline glioma presents an infrequent but crucial differential diagnosis and should be considered in cases with rapid neurological deterioration and multiple intracranial and intramedullary tumor lesions in children and young adults. Combined radio-chemotherapy delayed the neurological deterioration, but unfortunately, progression occurred three months after the diagnosis.
