Abstract

Leptomeningeal involvement may be caused by various conditions, and patients may present with different clinical findings. The causes of this condition may be carcinogenic, infectious, inflammatory and autoimmmunity. The prognosis is dependent upon the underlying cause.
We present three cases of leptomeningeal involvement with different diagnoses and clinical findings.
