Gd-DTPA Enhancement of CSF in Meningeal Carcinomatosis
J Comput Assist Tomogr 17:940-944, Pui,M.H.W.,et al, 1993
See this aricle in Pubmed
Article Abstract
All four patients demonstrated CSF enhancement after Gd-DTPA administration,which increased on delayed imaging and was more apparent following subtraction.Three of the four patients died within 5 months of the MRI examination.CSF enhancement in uncommon,but when seen indicates massive tumor that coats the surface of the CNS.Detection of CNS enhancement may alter therapy;however,prognosis may be poor when CSF enhancement is present.Delayed imaging and subtraction may improve detection of CSF enhancement.
