Confusion and altered behaviour? Cause.

Ronstan Lobo1, Isweri Pillay, Barry Kennedy, Michael Watts.   

Abstract

We describe the case of a 65-year-old man who presented with confusion and change in behaviour, and describe the investigative steps that were taken before a diagnosis was made. This patient was eventually diagnosed with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis secondary to a previously undiagnosed oesophageal carcinoma.
