A 61-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer presented with migrainelike episodes over the past 10 months. FDG-PET/CT(PET/CT) showed relatively symmetric areas of photopenia predominantly in the bilateral superior parietal lobules. Subsequent contrast-enhanced MRI revealed leptomeningeal
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

Lung cancer is one of the most common neoplasms to appear leptomeningeal metastasis (LM). Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is better diagnostic choice for LM and usually shows focal nodular or diffuse linear enhancement on the leptomeninges along the sulci and tentorium in the
Gastric adenocarcinoma is rarely observed in patients under the age of 40. Meningeal carcinomatosis as a first manifestation of disease is absolutely unique. If meningeal involvement occurs it is usually secondary event in previously diagnosed tumor. The prognosis is very unfavorable associated with
A 55-year-old man was treated with 10 courses of intermittent Paclitaxel, estramustine phosphate sodium and carboplatin (PEC) chemotherapy for hormone-refractory prostate cancer. He was admitted to our department with a complaint of severe headache 2 years after initiating chemotherapy. Enhanced
We report a 73-year-old male patient with leptomeningeal metastasis from urinary bladder adenocarcinoma. He was presented with prominent hyperactive delirium during the course of the disease. Meningeal carcinomatosis was detected 5 days before his death, but the primary site of the malignant tumor
We present a 77-year-old previously well patient with facial asymmetry and progressive weakness of the lower extremities. An initial MRI revealed slight contrast enhancement of the meninges. Three consecutive cerebrospinal fluid examinations demonstrated low glucose concentration, marked elevation
Bevacizumab (Avastin, Genetech/Roche) is an anti-angiogenic drug approved for treating patients with malignant gliomas that reduces edema and mass effect, but has been suggested to promote multifocal tumor spread within the brain. Patients with systemic malignancies are also treated with
We obtained serial cranial computed tomographic (CT) scans from 25 patients with documented leptomeningeal metastases in order to correlate the course of clinical symptoms and cerebrospinal fluid abnormalities with the evolution of CT abnormalities. In almost one-third of patients, relatively
BACKGROUND
Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome is characterized by neurological symptoms resulting from cerebral edema, which occurs as a consequence of hemodialysis. Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome most often occurs in patients who have just started hemodialysis, during hemodialysis, or soon after
Acquired resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors remains the main hurdle in treating EGFR-mutated lung cancer. Besides, when leptomeningeal carcinomatosis occurs during treatment, it often leads to treatment failure. We herein report a case of lung adenocarcinoma
BACKGROUND
The efficacy of radiotherapy (RT) in patients who have brain metastases from melanoma is limited. In this study, the authors evaluated the efficacy of treatment with temozolomide in patients with metastatic melanoma, including small brain metastases, who did not require immediate RT and
Signet ring cell adenocarcinoma has a propensity for leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, and although bilateral optic nerve involvement is rare, this may occur with or without obvious signs of diffuse leptomeningeal involvement. We describe a 41-year-old woman who presented with a brief history of
OBJECTIVE
To report two rare cases of encephaloclastic cyst induced by intraventricular topotecan. To share our experience in diagnosing and treating this rare disease.
BACKGROUND
Ommaya reservoirs provide fast access and reliable drug delivery to cerebral spinal fluid. They are routinely utilized
