| Popis: | Primary diffuse leptomeningeal gliomatosis (PDLG) is a rare malignant condition of meninges with only 83 cases reported in the literature so far. It is caused by glial cell infiltration, without evidence of a primary brain or spinal cord tumour. In this letter, we point out the importance of early recognition of clinical and neuroradiological signs of the disease and radical oncological treatment. |
