Craniocerebral metastases from a supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma: A case report and literature review

Abstract

Craniocerebral metastases as the initial spread of supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are exceptional. The presence of several months' history of dysphagia, dyspnea, cachexia, tobacco/alcohol abuse, and seizure(s) is suspicious of craniocerebral metastases from an advanced-stage supraglottic SCC. Physicians should be aware since early diagnosis and treatment may increase patient survival.
