Carcinomatous encephalitis, a rare brain metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma, can cause confusion. Early suspicion is key, even with normal CT scans, due to characteristic MRI findings.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Lung adenocarcinoma can present with rare neurological complications.
  • Carcinomatous encephalitis is an uncommon manifestation of brain metastases.

Observation:

  • A patient with lung adenocarcinoma developed confusional syndrome.
  • Initial computed tomography (CT) scan results were normal.

Findings:

  • Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed miliary, characteristic lesions.
  • These findings are indicative of carcinomatous encephalitis.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering carcinomatous encephalitis in lung cancer patients with neurological symptoms.
  • Emphasizes the diagnostic value of MR imaging when CT is inconclusive.
