Neuroradiologic Findings in Leptomeningeal Carcinomatosis:The Value Interest of Gadolinium-Enhanced MRI Neuroradiology 32:26-32, Rodesch,G.,et al, 1990 See this aricle in Pubmed Article 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.
