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
- Cranial nerve IV
- Cranial nerve VI
- Cranial nerve V
- Facial hypesthesia or anesthesia
- Weakness of clenching and side-to-side movement of the jaw
- Cranial nerve VIII
Symptoms due to spinal cord and roots dysfunction
- Limb weakness (lower extremities > upper extremities)
- Sensory loss and pain in the neck and back
- Neck rigidity
- Urinary retention
- Urinary incontinence
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Rectal prolapse
