Abstract		Background. Bifocal primary intracranial germinal tumors are rare. Only 5-10% of all germ cell tumors are found both in the suprasellar and pineal region. Case report. In presented patient we found two primary intracranial germinomas in pituitary and pineal gland that were successfully operated. Radiological properties of germinomas and differential diagnosis are discussed. Conclusions. Although the definite histological diagnosis cannot be achieved by computer tomography and/or magnetic resonance images alone, a detailed analysis of neuroradiological images is useful for predicting the histologieal diagnosis.
Summary		Izhodišča. Bifokalni primarni intrakranialni germinalni tumorji so redki, tako samo 5-10% vseh germinalnih tumorjev odkrijemo supraselarno in v področju češarike. Prikaz primera. Predstavljamo primer bolnika z dvema primarnima intrakranialnima germinomoma v področju hipofize in češarike, ki sta bila operativno uspešno odstranjena. Opišemo tudi nekatere radiološke značilnosti germinomov in nekatere diferencialne diagnostične možnosti. Zaključki. Čeprav končne histološke diagnoze intrakranialnih germinomov ni mogoče napovedati samo z računalniško tomografijo ali/in magnetno resonanco, lahko k dokončni diagnozi veliko pripomore natančna analiza nevroradioloških preiskav.
