摘要：

Central nervous system metastases from nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) are uncommon. The patient presented was diagnosed with aggressive advanced NPC resistant to treatment and complicated by a solitary brainmetastasis. A PubMed database search was conducted to review the existing literature regarding brain metastases of NPC, using the search terms "nasopharyngeal neoplasia," "nasopharyngeal carcinoma," "nasopharynx," " radiotherapy," "central nervous system," and "brain" in section of "Title/Abstract." The articles were first evaluated by title and then by abstract, and thereafter appropriate manuscripts were evaluated by full text. References of the published papers were also reviewed.
