脑膜癌病

目的 探讨脑膜癌病的临床表现、EEG、CT、MRI及脑脊液细胞学检查与诊断之间的关系。进一步提高对脑膜癌病的认识。方法 对4例脑膜癌病的临床资料及EEG、CT、MRI、脑脊液检查进行综合分析。结果 脑膜癌病主要病变累及软脑膜、颅神经及脊神经根。临床表现复杂，主要出现脑症状，颅神经症状和脊神经症状。脑脊液检查，多数患蛋白与细胞数轻－中度增高，葡萄糖及氯化物减少。结论 EEG、CT、MRI检查对诊断脑膜癌病变有重要参考价值。诊断时需注意与结核性脑炎，新型隐球菌性脑膜炎及脑囊虫病相鉴别。脑脊液发现癌细胞是诊断本病的可靠依据。

Meningeal carcinomatosis

Objective To improve the knowledge about meningeal carcinomatosis by exploring the relationship between the clinical characteristics、 EEG、 CT、 MRI、 cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) and diagnosis. Methods The clinical materials of 4 patients with meningeal carcinomatosis and EEG、 CT、 MRI、 Cytomorphology in CFS were analysed. Results Meningeal carcinomatosis mainly involve some tissues such as cranial nerves、 pia mater、 spinal nervous roots and appear some symptoms associated with these diseased tissues. In CSF of most patients with this disease there is a slight－ middle increase in protein and amount of cells, decrease in glucose and chloride. Conclusion EEG、 CT and MRI play an important role in the diagnosis of meningeal carcinomatosis. There is a necessity to differentiate it from cerebral tuberculosis, cytoccous meningitis and cerebral cysticercosis. It is reliable evidence to find cancer cell in CSF.
