Brain metastases from cancer cervix are extremely rare. We report a patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix in a rural setting in western Maharashtra who developed an isolated right parafalcine high frontal metastasis within 6 months of treatment of the primary disease. The presenting symptoms of the metastatic disease were headache, seizures and vomiting. The patient was successfully treated by surgical excision of the metastasis and adjuvant whole brain radiation therapy, and she was disease-free at the 9-month follow-up after treatment of the recurrence.
