  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 49-year-old female was referred to us due to sudden diplopia since 2 months before. She had been diagnosed as breast cancer 7 years before. She underwent surgical removal of the tumor followed by chemotherapy. When first seen by us, she showed bilateral abducens palsy and papilledema. Although the findings were suggestive of intra-cranial metastasis of carcinoma, computed tomo-graphy of the brain gave negative results. Definite diagnosis of leptomeningeal metastasis of the tumor was made based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The present case illustrates the value of MRI in suspected tumor metastasis in the cranial cavity.
