Abstract:
The clinical data and findings in MRI enhanced scanning of 16 patients with meningeal carcinomatosis were analyzed retrospectively.Meningeal carcinomatosis with subacute- or chronic-onset deteriorated progressively presenting the characteristics of intracranial hypertension and meningeal irritation.Fourteen out of 16 patients showed abnormal linear and strip signal enhancement of meninges by enhancement scanning.Meningeal carcinomatosis presented in diversified patterns and contrast-enhanced MRI is of referential value for the diagnosis of the disease.
