- Cerebrovascular pseudoaneurysms are rare complications that can develop after trauma, even if initial imaging shows no vascular injury.
- In this case, a woman in her sixties fell and had no immediate findings, but a week later, she experienced a mental status change that led to the discovery of a ruptured pseudoaneurysm.
- The patient was treated successfully with coil embolization and surgery for a related brain bleed, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring after trauma.
Purpose: Treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) with brain metastatic disease has traditionally involved whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT). The role of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is unclear.
Methods And Materials: Our study was a retrospective review of an SRS database evaluating patients with SCLC who received SRS.
Background: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and aggressive neuroendocrine tumor with a high likelihood of distant metastasis. Approximately 30 cases of MCC brain metastasis have been reported. The authors report a case of MCC brain metastasis with imaging findings mimicking primary central nervous system lymphoma.
