case_images: Axial contrast-enhanced 3D-FAST SPIN ECHO spectral presaturation with inversion recovery [left: pre-whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT); right: 9-month follow-up]: note decrease in intraparenchymal brain metastases and leptomeningeal enhancement pre- vs. post-WBRT. In addition, note consecutive enlargement of the lateral ventricles on 9-month follow-up scan.

case_images: Gadolinium-enhanced multiplanar MRI of the brain and spine showed isolated intraparenchymal and leptomeningeal carcinomatosis of the brain; the findings were conclusive for leptomeningeal spread (see Figures 1-3). Figures 1-3), contrast-enhanced MRI of the brain showed sustained durable response in the absence of any severe neurological side effects. Furthermore, follow-up 18F-FDG/PET-CT showed stable extracranial disease with multiple FDG non-avid sclerotic bone lesions as a sign of treatment response to afatinib.
