title: Isolated central nervous system metastasis from ovarian carcinoma: a case report.
abstract: Ovarian adenocarcinoma usually disseminates and recurs the abdominal cavity. The detection of central nervous system metastases is rare. In this report we describe a case of intracranial recurrence that developed during a complete local surgical and pathological response and was treated radically with surgery followed by radiation.
