MR imaging with Gd-DTPA in leptomeningeal spread of lymphoma.
We describe the magnetic resonance (MR) plus Gd-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) findings in a patient with leptomeningeal spread of lymphoma. Gadolinium-DTPA aided in the diagnosis by offering additional information after noncontrast MR. Magnetic resonance with Gd-DTPA may well prove to be an important adjunct in the work-up of patients suspected of leptomeningeal spread of neoplasm.
