Overview
History
Symptoms
Symptoms of neoplastic meningitis are pleomorphic due to involvement of three domains of the neurological function, which include:[1]
- Cerebral hemisphere (15%)
- Cranial nerves (35%)
- Spinal cord and roots (60%)
Symptoms due to cerebral hemisphere dysfunction
Symptoms due to cranial nerve dysfunction
- 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
- Tortional diplopia
- Cranial nerve VI
