neoplasm metastasis/headache

BACKGROUND The current study was conducted to investigate the diagnostic value of neurologic evaluation for the prediction of intracranial metastases in cancer patients with new or changed headache. METHODS Between February 1997 and February 2000, general practitioners and specialists referred

This paper presents two cases of Rouviere node metastasis in carcinoma of the hypopharynx as confirmed by gallium scintigraphy. Invasion of the Rouviere nodes was clarified within six months of the onset of symptoms in both cases. One patient eventually died of intracranial cancerous invasion and

Orthostatic headache is a key symptom of intracranial hypotension; however, not all orthostatic headaches are caused by cerebrospinal fluid leaks leading to intracranial hypotension. We report here the unusual case of a 68-year-old man presenting with orthostatic headache in which compression of the

The differential diagnosis of headache is often difficult because the symptom of headache is overlapping. Superficial cervical plexus block is useful in diagnosis and treatment of headache. Headache arising from the neck and radiating to the frontotemporal regions and possibly to the supraorbital

The aim of this study was to evaluate the headache and other neurological symptoms and signs as guide predictors for the occurrence of brain metastases in cancer patients. We prospectively studied 54 cancer patients with newly appeared headache or with a change in the pattern of an existing headache

We describe the case of a 55-year-old man who underwent four cycles of cabazitaxel therapy for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). After the fourth cycle of cabazitaxel, the patient experienced severe headaches. Brain gadolinium (Gd) contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

We report on a patient with clusterlike headache and multiple brain metastases of lung cancer. Initially, cluster headache was suggested clinically by characteristic symptoms without any focal central nervous system signs. However, magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated multiple brain metastases.

We report an adult female with a small cell lung cancer (SCLC) pituitary metastasis who presented with seizures and headache. While headache is a common presentation of pituitary metastases, seizures have been very rarely reported. The patient was found on MRI to have a suprasellar tumor with

Sarcoidosis is uncommon in children. Although isolated neurosarcoidosis has been seen in 15% adults with sarcoidosis, pediatric neurosarcoidosis is rarely reported. Neurosarcoidosis may present with cranial neuropathy, including facial palsy, optic nerve or other cranial nerve involvement,

A 37-year-old woman presented with a 2-week history of persistent headache in an occipitotemporal distribution. The patient had experienced prior headaches and migraines, but this presentation was characterised by its intensity and duration. There was associated dizziness and blurring of vision in

We report a patient with a rare primary signet-ring cell carcinoma of the transverse colon with secondary leptomeningeal carcinomatosis. The only presenting and persistent symptom was worsening headache for 6 weeks until death. There were no other neurological, constitutional, or gastrointestinal
