title: Leptomeningeal gliomatosis: MR findings.
abstract: We report a case of primary diffuse leptomeningeal gliomatosis documented by MR. The radiological findings guided the surgical biopsy toward the area involved. Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. The patient could consequently benefit from treatment, i.e., radiation therapy, which was followed by clinical relief.
