  • Title: Meningeal carcinomatosis: an unusual cause of deafness.
    Author: Morgan MK, Zammit-Maempel I, Hill J.
    Journal: J R Coll Surg Edinb; 1998 Apr; 43(2):119-21. PubMed ID: 9621540.
    Abstract:
    Meningeal carcinomatosis is the diffuse infiltration of the meninges by metastatic carcinoma. Patients usually have a known underlying malignancy, but primary presentation can be with symptoms of meningeal involvement. The cases are reported of two patients who presented with sensorineural hearing loss. The roles of gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and cerebrospinal fluid cytology in reaching the diagnosis are discussed.
