Cerebral metastasis prom choriocarcinoma and oncotic aneurysms: case report
Cerebral metastasis occur in 10 to 20% of patients with choriocarcinoma. We describe the twelfth patient with oncotic aneurysms from choriocarcinoma verified by cerebral angiography. The importance to consider this disease in a woman of childbearing age who develop an intracerebral hemorrhage or a lesion with mass effect is emphasized, as well as laboratorial and radiological characteristics. Therapeutic approaches with chemotherapic agents, surgery and irradiation are discussed.
