Management of Neurologic Diseases
Summary
- Corticosteroids are often used to reduce mass effect and edema in brain lesions
- They can also significantly reduce the size of PCNSL lesions and alter the pathologic appearance of PCNSL, with potential to confuse interpretation of treatment effects[Ferreri 2011; Morgello 2006]
- Corticosteroids should be used judiciously and primarily in cases where edema and mass effect are of significant concern
