title: Calcification of presumed ovarian carcinoma brain metastases following radiotherapy.
abstract: Multiple brain metastases from ovarian carcinoma are rare. CT findings are reported in a case treated with whole brain radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Radiological complete-calcified brain metastases following treatment and long morphological changes occurred. Delayed neurological findings in relation to treatment are considered. Long survival with unmodified calcified lesions may suggest a stabilization of CNS disease.
