SANCHEZ, Flavio et al. Carcinomatous encephalitis. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2004, vol.64, n.6, pp.518-520. ISSN 0025-7680.

We report a case of carcinomatous encephalitis in a patient with lung adenocarcinoma and confusional syndrome. This is a rare form of brain metastases. We discuss its clinical picture, the importance of suspecting it after a normal computed tomography scan and the miliary typical images at magnetic resonance.

Keywords : Carcinomatous encephalitis; Brain metastases; Central nervous system.
