Overview
Differential Diagnosis
Intracranial metastases must be differentiated from:[1][2]
- Glioblastoma multiforme
- Primary CNS lymphoma
- Stroke
- Epilepsy
- Radiation necrosis
- Brain abscess
- Herpes simplex encephalitis
Gallery
-
CT scan of a 60 year old patient who developed left-handed weakness which improved with corticosteroids and neurological examination revealing left pronator drift and left sided arm and leg weakness demonstrates right frontoparietal hyperdense intra-axial lesion that enhances in post contrast study. Small surrounding vasogenic edema and no significant mass effect is observed.[3]
-
CT scan of a patient with known (histologically confirmed) small cell carcinoma of the lungs demonstrates multiple cystic cerebral metastases.[4]
-
Ct scan without contrast of the patient with known metastatic breast cancer, complaining of headache, demonstrates a solitary right frontal lobe mass with extensive surrounding edema. The mass has it's epicenter close to the grey white matter junction.[5]
-
Ct scan with contrast of the patient with known metastatic breast cancer, complaining of headache, demonstrates a solitary heterogenously enhancing right frontal lobe mass with extensive surrounding edema. The mass has it's epicenter close to the grey white matter junction.[5]
-
Postcontrast CT image of brain for a 60 year old male patient with metastatic bronchogenic carcinoma presenting with altered mental status and headache of recent onset demonstrating enhancing intra-axial lesion.[6]
-
Noncontrast CT of a 36 year old female, a known case of esophageal cancer, presents with headache and right sided hemiparesis, demonstrates a cystic lesion (37 x 31 mm) in the left high frontal lobe with significant perilesionalvasogenic edema causing mass effect in the form of sulcal effacement and subfalcine herniation.[7]
