  • Title: Gadolinium enhancement of the leptomeninges caused by hydrocephalus: a potential mimic of leptomeningeal metastasis.
    Author: Schumacher DJ, Tien RD, Friedman H.
    Journal: AJNR Am J Neuroradiol; 1994 Apr; 15(4):639-41. PubMed ID: 8010263.
    Abstract:
    A patient had severe hydrocephalus and diffuse leptomeningeal enhancement on MR which mimicked leptomeningeal spread of a primary brain tumor. The leptomeningeal enhancement resolved completely after decompression of the hydrocephalus. Data suggest that the leptomeningeal enhancement is caused by vascular stasis induced by the hydrocephalus.
