Symptoms of neoplastic meningitis are pleomorphic due to involvement of three domains of the neurological function, which include:^[1]

Symptoms due to cerebral hemisphere dysfunction

Symptoms due to cranial nerve dysfunction

Cranial nerve VI
- Double vision
Cranial nerve III
- Dilation of pupils
- Down and out position of affected eye
- Drooping of the eyelid
Cranial nerve IV
- Weakness of downward eye movement with consequent vertical diplopia
