Carcinomatous encephalitis is a rare form of brain metastasis in which there is diffuse miliary spread of punctate tumor nodules in a perivascular distribution. In this case, these tiny tumor nodules were seen throughout the cortical and basal gangliar gray matter only on T2-weighted images. Contrast-enhanced CT and T1-weighted MR images did not demonstrate these tumor nodules.
癌性脑炎是一种罕见的脑转移形式,其中点状肿瘤结节呈血管周围分布的弥漫性粟粒状播散。在该病例中,仅在T2加权图像上可见整个皮质和基底节灰质中有这些微小的肿瘤结节。增强CT和T1加权磁共振图像未显示这些肿瘤结节。
