Article Abstract
We studied 30 men with cranial neuropathy(CN)and systemic malignancy to determine the etiology and prognosis of CN.The most common malignancy was prostate(33%),followed by lung(27%).The etiology of CN was metastatic in 25(83%)and nonmetastatic in 5(17%).Only 6 patients improved:3 metastatic and 3 nonmetastatic.Although prognosis for recovery was better in the nonmetastatic group,there was no significant difference in survival between the metastatic and the nonmetastatic groups.
