AI Article Synopsis
- An 83-year-old man was admitted for cognitive decline and gait issues, undergoing a CT scan and CSF tap for suspected normal-pressure hydrocephalus.
- He had a previous history of chemotherapy for mantle cell lymphoma, but initial CT showed no signs of cancer recurrence.
- Unfortunately, his condition worsened rapidly, and CSF tests indicated that the mantle cell lymphoma had unexpectedly infiltrated his central nervous system, highlighting the rarity of this occurrence.
Article Abstract
An 83-year-old man underwent head computed tomography (CT) to investigate cognitive decline and gait disturbance and was admitted to undergo a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tap test for suspected idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus. He had a history of chemotherapy for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), but CT on admission showed no evidence of recurrence. After admission, his level of consciousness rapidly deteriorated and CSF examination suggested infiltration of MCL into the central nervous system (CNS). Although CNS involvement in MCL is rare, this case demonstrates that even if recurrence of MCL is not suspected based on CT findings.
