Intracranial germ cell tumours are rare malignancies of childhood, adolescence and young adults. The tumour characteristics, histology types, principles of treatment and their prognosis are described in the introduction. The case describes clinical finding, diagnostic and therapeutic procedure, result of treatment and late recurrence of the malignancy and its treatment in a young woman. The case confirmed a high radio- and chemosensitivity of intracranial germ cell tumours.

Keywords: intracranial germ cell tumours, pure germinoma, dysgerminoma, teratoma, chemotherapy, radiotherapy.
