임산부에게 발생한 신경낭미충증으로 오인된 뇌내낭성전이

초록

Brain metastasis can form large cystic lesions, and its differentiation on the basis of imaging findings alone is difficult. A36-year-old woman with headache visited emergency room. Two years ago, she was diagnosed as neurocysticercosis andhad taken anti-parasite medications. However, in the current visit, the sizes of intracranial cystic lesions increased. Brainbiopsy reported metastatic neuroendocrine tumor, and chest CT showed the primary site of the tumor. Cystic brainmetastasis should be considered in cases with cystic brain lesions.
