Brain metastases in ovarian carcinoma are uncommon. However, an increased incidence of brain metastasis from ovarian carcinoma is probably associated with prolonged survival achieved by use of cytoreductive surgery and aggressive chemotherapy. In addition, detection of brain metastases is increasing due to improved methods of detection. It is difficult to find a correlation between the probability of development of brain metastasis and prognostic factors of ovarian carcinoma. Brain metastasis usually appears with a poor prognosis, however early diagnosis and aggressive multimodal treatment can improve the quality of life in patient. Current treatment for brain metastases include surgical resection, whole brain radiation therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, chemotherapy, and various combinations of those therapies. Surgical resection remains the best therapeutic approach and should be considered in combination with chemotherapy and radiotherapy if the location and number of metastases allows it, in order to prolong survival.
