Abstract

A 44 year old woman presented with chronic meningitis. Magnetic resonance imagery showed a diffuse contrast enhancement of the leptomeninges. Cerebrospinal fluid studies showed a high hyperproteinorachia and light pleiocytosis. A left temporal tumor appeared four months later. Histological studies revealed an anaplastic oligosatrocytoma leading to the diagnosis of primary leptomeningeal gliomatosis.
