Abstract

Meningeal carcinomatosis is is the diffuse infiltration of the meninges by metastatic carcinoma. Patients usually have a known underlying malignancy, hut primary presentation can be with symptoms of meningeal involvement. The cases are reported of two patients who presented with sensorineural hearing loss. The roles of gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and cerebrospinal fuid cytology in reaching the diagnosis are discussed.
