Abstract：
:Carcinomatous meningitis (CM) occurs in less than 10% of cancer patients. Although patients frequently present with a focal complaint, multifocal signs are often found following careful neurological examination. The gold standard for diagnosis remains the demonstration of neoplastic cells in the cerebrospinal fluid. Despite the discouraging prognosis, palliative treatment may improve quality of life and lengthen lifespan. We report a patient with known primary carcinoma of the urachus who presented with headaches, nausea, vomiting and ataxia 1 week following resection of a nodular arachnoidal metastasis (indenting the cerebellum). Lumbar cerebrospinal fluid subsequently confirmed carcinomatous meningitis. This is the first reported case of carcinomatous meningitis resulting from metastatic urachal carcinoma.

杂志文章abstract：INTRODUCTION:Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary brain cancer. The average survival time for the majority of patients is approximately 15 months after diagnosis. A major feature of GBM that contributes to its poor prognosis is its high invasiveness. Caveolae are plasma membrane subdomains that participate in ...
