title: [Diffuse primary leptomeningeal gliomatosis].
abstract: A woman died at the age of 22 years. Lifetime diagnosis had been inflammatory arachnopathy. The course of the disease had taken at least 6 years. Autopsy revealed primary diffuse leptomeningeal astrocytoma of the brain and spinal cord without neoplastic foci in the parenchyma of the central nervous system. Patchy dystrophic calcifications were recorded from the cerebral and cerebellar cortex.
