| Abstract |
We present a case of a 55-year-old male diagnosed with glioblastoma (GB) involving the left frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes that developed aggression and committed a violent act against his wife. Aggression and violence have rarely been presented in the neuro-oncology literature, but have been well documented in stroke and dementia literature. We discuss the case along with the ethical principles as well as best management practices that may have been employed. As our therapies improve overall survival in brain tumors, aggression is an important behavior that the field must acknowledge. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 August 2012.
All research outputs
#18,312,024
of 22,673,450 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Neuro-Oncology
#2,224
of 2,955 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#85,590
of 92,993 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Neuro-Oncology
#20
of 22 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,673,450 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,955 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.2. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 92,993 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 3rd percentile – i.e., 3% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 22 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 4th percentile – i.e., 4% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
