Summary A patient with uvular cancer presented with lower limb weakness and paresthesiae, headache, neck stiffness and multiple cranial palsies. No malignant cells were found on lumbar puncture. CT, and MRI were normal. Gadolinium-DTPA MRI disclosed multiple enhancing lesions consistent with leptomeningeal metastases. Gd-DTPA MRI is the best technique to demonstrate tumoral meningeal infiltration in cytology-negative patients suspected of having leptomeningeal metastases.
