Abstract

We report a case of leptomeningeal involvement of the brain and spinal cord in a multiple myeloma patient under treatment. The patient was referred to the hematology department due to altered mental status and sensory deficits of the upper extremities. Brain CT after contrast administration revealed abnormally enhancing leptomeninges. Additionally, brain and full spine MRI were performed to estimate disease burden and document marrow infiltration. We emphasize the role of CT and conventional and contrast-enhanced MRI in depicting CNS involvement.
