Summary
Brain imaging in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and lymphoma revealed seizures caused by metastasis, hemorrhage, or infiltration. Cranial CT scans are crucial for diagnosing these neurological complications and guiding treatment.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Oncology
- Radiology
Background:
- Seizures can be a neurological complication in patients with hematologic malignancies.
- Understanding the etiology of seizures in these patients is critical for effective management.
- Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) are types of lymphoid malignancies.
