Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Brain metastases of cervical cancer are extremely rare. They are usually seen late in the clinical course and have poor prognosis. We report a case of a 45-year-old woman diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix and who developed supratentorial brain metastases after two years of treatment of the primary disease. The patient underwent surgical excision of the cerebral metastasis completed whole brain radiotherapy and palliative chemotherapy, with a good clinical and radiological evolution. Resume: Les métastases cérébrales du cancer du col utérin sont extrêmement rares. Leur pronostic reste sombre malgré toutes les options thérapeutiques. Nous rapportons l'observation clinique d'une jeune patiente de 47 ans, suivie pour un carcinome épidermoïde du col utérin, qui présente 2 ans plus tard des métastases cérébrales supratentorielles. Notre patiente a bénéficié d'une résection chirurgicale complétée par une radiothérapie encéphalique totale et une chimiothérapie palliative, avec une bonne évolution clinique et radiologique.
