Popis: | The spread of female genital tract tumours to the brain is a rare and insufficiently studied pathology. The problems of diagnosis and treatment of this group of patients still remain. The article gives a detail account of the clinical picture, radiological and morphological diagnosis, and the principles of treating patients with brain metastases from gynaecological cancers. Conclusion. A probable cause of a rare occurrence of brain metastases from gynaecological malignancies might be a high resistance of nervous tissue to various kinds of tumours. When local control over a brain tumour is achieved, this might improve the patient’s survival and quality of life in some particular cases.
