Objective to analyze the patterns of MRI manifestation, and to investigate the value of MRI in diagnosis of meningeal carcinomatosis.
MR imaging of meningeal carcinomatosis by systemic malignancy
Objective To investigate the early diagnostic value of detection of the serum tumor markers in patients with meningeal carcinomatosis .
Objective to improve the knowledge about meningeal carcinomatosis by exploring the relationship between the clinical characteristics, EEG, ct, MRI, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and diagnosis.
Other proposed mechanisms include meningeal carcinomatosis with infiltration of cells into the cord and direct invasion from contiguous structures.
Observation of CEA in meningeal carcinomatosis cells of cerebrospinal fluid by laser scanning confocal microscopy
Expression and significance of VEGF and Ang-2 in tuberculous peritonitis and peritoneal carcinomatosis
Lymphangitic carcinomatosis represents intrapulmonary spread of metastatic neoplasm via lymphatics and adjacent connective tissue.
Conclusions The clinical manifestations and imaging results of meningeal carcinomatosis lack specificity, and cytological examination of CSF is a reliable diagnosing method for this disease.
Invasion by malignant cells can cause either regional lymphadenopathy, as in patients with head and neck tumors, or generalized lymphadenopathy, as in patients with disseminated carcinomatosis.
