Cerebral metastasis from choriocarcinoma and oncotic aneurysms. Case report
Arq Neuropsiquiatr.
1993 Jun.
Abstract
Cerebral metastasis occur in 10 to 20% of patients with choriocarcinoma. We describe the twelfth patient with oncotic aneurysms from choriocarcinoma verified by cerebral angiography. The importance to consider this disease in a woman of childbearing age who develop an intracerebral hemorrhage or a lesion with mass effect is emphasized, as well as laboratial and radiological characteristics. Therapeutic approaches with chemotherapic agents, surgery and irradiation are discussed.
