Deskripsi
Gastric cancer rarely presents with carcinomatous meningitis (CM) and rapidly progressive dementia. The authors report two cases of carcinomatous meningitis due to gastric cancer presenting with rapidly progres- sive dementia. The MRI of the brain was different between the two cases. The diagnosis of CM was confirmed by positive cerebrospinal fluid cytology.
