title: Metastatic neurologic complications of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
abstract: Neurologic complications of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma represent challenging diagnostic and therapeutic issues. Leptomeningeal, epidural, and brain metastases are the most common neurologic complications, and each is associated with a poor prognosis. However, early recognition and intervention often result in improved quality of life and, for a subset of patients, an opportunity for longer survival.
