title: Leptomeningeal metastasis of uterine cervical cancer 17 years after primary tumor treatment.
abstract: Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) of uterine cervical cancer is extremely rare. A 54-year-old woman with uterine cervical cancer treated with surgery and radiotherapy developed LM manifesting as ptosis 17 years later. Although rare, LM should be considered in patients with a history of uterine cervical cancer presenting with cranial nerve symptoms.
