Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A 23-year-old female university student was presented with recent onset of non-specific headache and dizziness. She had no neurological deficit on neurological examination and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed diffuse enhancement in the basal cisterns and cerebral sulci. She was treated as tuberculous meningitis but she did not improve and developed respiratory arrest. Autopsy showed primary multifocal leptomeningeal gliomatosis.
