Figure 24: Primary leptomeningeal glioblastomatosis. Panel A Axial gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted image reveals diffuse leptomeningeal enhancement. Panel B Sagittal gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted image of the cervical spine shows a similar appearance. Panel C Photograph of the corresponding pathologic specimen from the region of the pons shows diffuse leptomeningeal thickening. These findings are nonspecific and may be seen with metastatic disease, with granulomatous disease such as tuberculosis or sarcoidosis, or in cases of bacterial meningitis.
