Abstract
Dissemination of metastases from primarily extraneural tumors with the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is rare and most often seen in association with a leptomeningeal involvement. Here we present 2 cases of bronchog enic and 1 case of prostata carcinoma with multiple CSF metastases wit hin the entire cerebral ventricles and the spinal canal.
