  • Title: Neuroradiologic findings in leptomeningeal carcinomatosis: the value interest of gadolinium-enhanced MRI.
    Author: Rodesch G, Van Bogaert P, Mavroudakis N, Parizel PM, Martin JJ, Segebarth C, Van Vyve M, Baleriaux D, Hildebrand J.
    Journal: Neuroradiology; 1990; 32(1):26-32. PubMed ID: 2333130.
    Abstract:
    Four patients with leptomeningeal metastases documented by neuroradiological examinations are reported. All had central nervous system or systemic neoplasms and showed clinical signs of carcinomatous meningitis. Gadolinium-enhanced MRI (Gd-MRI) disclosed for each patient pathological foci, allowing delineation of the extent of meningeal disease. Although non-specific, these findings, combined with the clinical context and CSF analysis, may lead to a rapid diagnosis and treatment of carcinomatous meningitis, even when malignant cells are not detected in the cerebrospinal fluid.
