A 20-year-old male patient admitted with intractable seizures and progressive
dementia is presented.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations revealed diffuse leptomeningeal
thickening, enhancement especially in the basal cisterns and multiple cystic
formations in the brain stem, temporal lobes and basal ganglia.
The pathologic examination from the right temporal lobe was consistent with
leptomeningeal sarcoma.
Marked regression of the symptoms and MRI lesions were detected following
radiotherapy.
