Abstract |
A 67 year old man is admitted with mental confusion. He has been treated 10 months before the present complication for a diffuse bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma with a good response to chemotherapy. Brain imaging shows symmetrical lesions in the periventricular areas and in the semi-oval centers. A test will allow to obtain the diagnosis.
