On the basis of a case report the clinical picture of meningitis carcinomatosa is discussed. The cerebrospinal fluid is the most important criterion for the diagnosis. All other examinations (EEG, brain-scan, X-ray) yield only imperfect information. The clinical picture of meningitis carcinomatosa is similar above all to meningitis tuberculosa. If cerebrospinal fluid shows inflammatory signs and there is a breakdown of cerebral nerves (blindness, deafness) meningitis carcinomatosa always should be considered, even if thorough examination does not succeed in proving a primary tumour.
基于一份病例报告，对癌性脑膜炎的临床表现进行了讨论。脑脊液是诊断的最重要标准。所有其他检查（脑电图、脑部扫描、X线）仅能提供不完整的信息。癌性脑膜炎的临床表现首先与结核性脑膜炎相似。如果脑脊液显示炎症迹象且出现脑神经损害（失明、失聪），即使全面检查未能成功证实原发肿瘤，也应始终考虑癌性脑膜炎。
