Resumo

The patient¿s decision regarding the most advisable therapeutic alternative is difficult, speccially in patients with poor prognosis. Patients: Young patient who was operated on several times by brain tumour and he was admitted again by tumour recurrence. Results: The patient preferred to be reoperated against the multidisciplinary team decision. His quality of life was acceptable but the patient died four months later. Conclusion: We think that the patient could be able to choose the preferred therapeutic option after adequate counselling. Confusing terms such as technical description should be avoided. We emphasize the respect to the patient¿s autonomy under non-maleficent conditions.
