چکیده انگلیسی
Meningeal carcinomatosis (MC) is an uncommon form of metastasis of solid tumors. Hearing loss as the presenting symptom of MC is very uncommon. A patient with an esophageal signet ring cell carcinoma 3 years previously presented with sudden onset of profound hearing loss affecting both ears. He had no evidence of local tumor recurrence. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed swelling and increased signal intensity on T2 weighted images of both acoustic nerves and the right trigeminal nerve. After gadolinium administration, enhancement of both acoustic and trigeminal nerves was seen. He later developed unsteadiness and head-movement-dependent oscillopsia due to vestibular areflexia and diplopia. At that time MRI showed leptomeningeal enhancement. MC was diagnosed, although cerebrospinal fluid cytology could not confirm that diagnosis. The patient died 16 weeks after the onset of deafness. In patients with progressive unilateral and bilateral hearing loss, meningeal carcinomatosis should be considered, especially if there is a history of previous malignancy.
