[Intracranial manifestations of lymphogranulomatosis].
Intracerebral manifestations of Hodgkin's disease are rare. They may occur as a primary or secondary manifestation and cause a variety of neurological symptoms. Frequently other organs as lungs, liver, bones and gastrointestinal tract are involved. Computer tomography and scintigraphy of the brain are valuable tools to help establish the diagnosis. Most patients have a poor prognosis. The treatment of choice is radiation of the brain. The literature of 34 reported cases is reviewed and two own cases are reported.
