Abstract
Background
: Sinonasal carcinoma is a rare and aggressive malignancy, with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis being an uncommon presentation.
Case Report
: We report a rare case of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis secondary to undifferentiated sinonasal carcinoma in a patient presenting with paraparesis. CSF analysis revealed atypical cells, and MRI demonstrated diffuse nodular leptomeningeal enhancement.
Conclusion
: A high index of suspicion is essential for diagnosing leptomeningeal carcinomatosis in patients with sinonasal carcinoma presenting with neurological deficits.
Keywords :
Carcinoma, Leptomeningeal Carcinomatosis, MRI, Paraparesis, Paranasal Sinus Neoplasms.
