Abstract
Any neurologic symptom occurring in a patient with a neoplasia raises suspicion of a metastasic lesion. Tomodensitometry can usually disclose the metastasic nature of the lesion, delineate precisely its location, extension, isolation or multiplicity, and define the importance of the perilesional edema. Conversely, the tomodensitometrie diagnosis of a cerebral lesion supposed to be of metastasic origin can lead to complementary investigation to discover the primary neoplasia.
