To determine seizure prevalence and contributing factors in patients with leptomeningeal disease (LMD).Authors performed a retrospective review of 79 consecutive patients with a diagnosis of LMD. Associations between categorical variables were assessed Neurologic symptoms commonly occur in oncology patients, and in some cases they may be the presenting symptom of malignancy. Cancer-related neurologic syndromes are rarely pathognomonic and must be differentiated from other benign or serious conditions. This article reviews common neuro-oncologic
Neurologic symptoms commonly occur in oncology patients, and in some cases they may be the presenting symptom of malignancy. Cancer-related neurologic syndromes are rarely pathognomonic and must be differentiated from other benign or serious conditions. This article reviews common neuro-oncologic
We describe video electroencephalography (video-EEG) correlates of transient neurological attacks due to plateau waves-paroxysmal elevations in intracranial pressure-in patients with leptomeningeal metastases. We identified 3 patients with leptomeningeal metastases, intracranial hypertension, and
Seven patients with carcinomatous meningitis were administered intrathecal I-131 labelled monoclonal antibody HMFG1. Clinical responses were seen in two patients, with a long term survivor at 32 months. Aseptic meningitis occurred in 4/7 patients, but more serious toxicity was observed in the form
Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) of systemic malignancy often give rise to multifocal involvement of the central (CNS) and peripheral nervous system. Signs of CNS dysfunction such as seizures and confusion often overshadow radicular deficits. We report clinical and laboratory evaluations in 10
Refractory anemia with excess blasts in transformation (RAEB-T) is a pre-leukemic syndrome that can progress to acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Although leptomeningeal disease in AML is rare and it is commonly associated with specific cytogenetic abnormalities, it has not been documented in
We describe herein the case of a 68-year-old man who experienced leptomeningitis after esophagectomy from an esophageal basaloid carcinoma. Although the patient had a good operative course for the first 10 days after surgery, he suddenly had general convulsions with unconsciousness. He was placed on
Diffuse cerebellar meningeal carcinomatosis secondary to haematogenous dissemination from an anaplastic solid mammary carcinoma was diagnosed in an old German shepherd dog suffering from seizures and rapidly progressing to stupor. A single computed tomography cerebellar scan identified an unusual
A six-year-old cross breed dog was presented with a four-month history of seizure activity, which was unresponsive to anticonvulsive therapy and an acute deterioration in neurological status, evident as central blindness. Cyst-like structures and nodular enhancement within the subarachnoid space
A 37-year-old woman presented with a 2-week history of persistent headache in an occipitotemporal distribution. The patient had experienced prior headaches and migraines, but this presentation was characterised by its intensity and duration. There was associated dizziness and blurring of vision in
A 43-year-old man was diagnosed with gastric cancer with diaphragm invasion and multiple lymph node metastases and underwent total gastrectomy. The histological diagnosis was por2>tub2, ypT4b(diaphragm), int, INF c, ly1, v1, ypN3, yp Stage ⅢC. Three months postoperatively, computed tomography
The development of chemotherapy to treat gastric cancer has prolonged its prognosis, and sometimes extremely rare conditions arise. This report describes two patients with carcinomatous meningitis who rapidly progressed into unconsciousness and died. A 60-year-old woman under second-line
A 55-year-old female presented to the emergency department with seizures, left hemiparesis, and memory loss. Her past medical history was notable for a right triple-negative breast adenocarcinoma that was diagnosed approximately two years prior. She underwent treatment with chemotherapy, right
Between 1984 and 1993, monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) radiolabelled with (131)I were administered into the CSF of 52 patients with neoplastic meningitis (meningosis) with progressive disease despite active conventional therapy. Selection of MAbs was based on immunoreactivity with patients' tumour and
