| الوصف: | Dissemination of malignant glioma to the fourth ventricle with metastaticdeposits and intractable vomiting is rare. Leptomeningeal extension ofmalignant glioma is an uncommon condition that has been reported in patientswith end-stage disease and is usually unresponsive to any treatment modality.We describe 3 patients with progressing recurrent glioblastoma multiforme inwhom leptomeningeal invasion manifested itself as intractable vomiting due totumor metastases in the floor of the fourth ventricle. All patients receivedadditional radiation therapy focused to the posterior fossa, with completeresolution of vomiting occurring within 10 days after irradiation. Theremission of symptoms in these patients persisted until their death 3-4 monthsafter the repeat radiation therapy. These reports indicate that additionalfocused radiation should be considered because of its significant therapeuticeffect in alleviating intractable nausea and vomiting in patients with gliomametastasized to the posterior fossa. |
