Abstract: | We report a strange case of a bladder whose first metastasic manifestation, after two years of the diagnosis, was a peripheric polyneuropathia. This patient was treated with immunotherapy with BCG for superficial carcinoma of the bladder during one year. Gradually central neurological symptoms appeared and the patient died one month later. A meningeal carcinomatosis was identify as the cause. No bone metastases existed, which is the most frequent way of tumours extension towards leptomeninges. We argue about the way to arrive at meninges. |
