Melanoma of the central nervous system.
The neurological manifestations of melanoma are analysed in this review of 1,500 patients in the Queensland Melanoma Project from 1963 to 1969. Three hundred and fifty patients have died, and 113 were recognized as having central nervous system metastases. The natural history of these metastases was examined, together with the results of a limited number of autopsies. The results of treatment are discussed.
