Metastases from solid tumors that seed the leptomeninges (meningeal carcinomatosis) are an important neurologic complication of systemic cancer. Recently many authors have reported that its incidence is increasing; particularly it has been demonstrated for breast cancer and small cell bronchogenic carcinoma. A cytologic examination of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) establishes the diagnosis. Gadolinium-enhanced MRI has demonstrated superiority over other imaging with the clinical context and CSF analysis may lead to a rapid diagnosis and treatment of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis. Despite all measures, prognosis remains poor because of the presence of multiple metastases elsewhere.
