Nasopharyngeal carcinoma with leptomeningeal involvement is rare and typically has poor prognosis.
We present a case report of a patient with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who was treated with high-dose intravenous methotrexate and remains asymptomatic and without clinical evidence of disease 6 years later.
Systemic high-dose methotrexate should be evaluated in the treatment of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma with central nervous involvement.
鼻咽癌合并脑膜转移较为罕见,且通常预后较差。
我们报告了一例接受大剂量静脉注射甲氨蝶呤治疗的鼻咽癌患者,6 年后患者无症状,且无疾病临床证据。
全身大剂量甲氨蝶呤治疗应在伴有中枢神经系统侵犯的晚期鼻咽癌治疗中进行评估。
