    Author: Knight RS, Anslow P, Theaker JM.
    Journal: J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry; 1987 Aug; 50(8):1022-8. PubMed ID: 3309189.
    Abstract:
    A 62 year old woman presented with subacute dementia and hemiparesis which progressed to death with terminal seizures over 5 months. A cerebral biopsy specimen and necropsy showed the features of neoplastic angioendotheliosis which proved to be lymphomatous. Cerebral CT showed multiple low density areas in the white matter with striking enhancement after high-dose intravenous contrast administration. There was temporary clinical improvement with prednisolone therapy. The clinical features, cerebral CT appearances and partial response to treatment are discussed, with a review of the relevant literature.
