Article Synopsis
- A 29-year-old Ethiopian man experienced severe vision loss, headaches, and hormonal issues due to a large brain tumor.
- Imaging revealed a mass impacting critical areas of the brain, leading to surgeries to remove the tumor.
- The tumor was diagnosed as a grade III neuroblastoma; after treatment, including radiation therapy, the patient has shown no signs of recurrence and his sodium levels returned to normal.
We report a case of primary leptomeningeal gliomatosis limited to the spinal cord occurring in a 52 years-old patient, who presented with back pain and leg weakness. MRI-scan of the craniospinal axis revealed an enhancing cervicothoracic lesion confined to the leptomeninges. A diagnostic biopsy was taken followed by a six level cervicothoracic laminoplasty with the aim of debulking of the dorsal portion of the tumour and relieving cord compression.
