Abstract
In meningeal carcinomatosis the spread of malignant cells may be a diffuse infiltration or multiple small metastatic lesions. These metastatic lesions may occasionally be so large that they can be demonstrated with conventional myelograms using Pantopaque or other oil-soluble contrast materials (Guyer et al., 1968; Jacobsen and Lester, 1970).
