Remote metastases from intracranial tumours.
A review of the primary tumours of the nervous system encountered over the past 16 years from the population of the west of Scotland uncovered only three tumours in which remote extracranial metastases had developed.

Intracranial metastases in patients with carcinoma of the cervix are rarely reported. We present three such patients, two of whom had intraparenchymal metastases and a third with involvement of bone and dura.
