Article Synopsis
- Meningeal carcinomatosis is a rare metastatic condition seen in cancer patients, diagnosed through typical imaging and signs of a primary tumor.
- A case study of a 72-year-old man illustrates challenges in diagnosis, leading to initial misinterpretation as idiopathic hydrocephalus.
- Despite treatment efforts, including a shunt operation and corticosteroids, the patient's neurological symptoms worsened, revealing meningeal carcinomatosis related to lung adenocarcinoma at autopsy.
