| Description |
Primary leptomeningeal gliomatosis (PLG) is a rare malignant glial infiltrate of leptomeninges without a primary tumor. It presents with cranial neuropathies, meningitis, hydrocephalus, seizure, myelopathy, or non-specific headache. We report two young patients presenting with third nerve palsies caused by PLG. In both cases, histopathological examination of meningeal biopsies was misleading. |
