Selected non-contrast CT images demonstrate multiple supra and infratentorial cystic lesions with scant surrounding edema.

Selected MRI images demonstrate the cystic lesions to have peripheral enhancement, minimal surrounding edema, and no central diffusion restriction. They are most consistent with cystic cerebral metastases.
Case Discussion
This patient had known (histologically confirmed) small cell carcinoma of the lungs. CT and MRI demonstrates multiple cystic cerebral metastases.
