摘要: • Computerized tomography (CT) was utilized as a preoperative screening procedure in series of 50 patients with lung carcinoma who were neurologically asymptomatic and whose radionuclide brain scans skull roentgenograms normal. Three (6%) discovered to have metastasis (cerebellum, occipital, corpus callosum). The metastatic lesions only directly visualized after administration contrast substance. CT findings greatly influenced the therapeutic planning these patients, surgery avoided two. When feasible, should examinations (with administration) prior thoracic even if they do not neurologic symptoms.
