what is neaplastic meningitis?

Answer 1

Neoplastic meningitis (aka meningeal carcinomatosis) is when the cancer has spread in a disseminated form into the subarachnoid space around the central nervous system. When a cancer patient presents with new neurological symptoms, the first thing you look for are brain mets (depending on where the neurological symptoms are, you might also be looking for spinal cord mets or compression). If you don't see anything on the brain MRI, the second thing you look for is this (with a lumbar puncture). When neoplastic meningitis occurs, it generally has a poor prognosis, although it depends on the particular type of cancer to some degree. For example, if the primary cancer was slow growing, then the meningeal mets will usually also be slow growing. Certain cancers like leukemias and lymphomas respond very well to intrathecal chemotherapy (often it can be completely eradicated). For breast, small cell lung, and melanoma primaries, the typical life expectancy after meningeal spread is measured in months.

I don't know if he intended this or not, but rudenski's answer seems to imply that neoplastic meningitis is caused by chemotherapy. That is not the case. It is seen most often in chemotherapy patients because the chemotherapy allowed them to live longer. Without the treatment the patients would have died long before the cancer spread to their CNS.
