The radiologic (CT scanner, Xray, bone scintigraphy) and biologic (blood check-up) investigations were all. Examination of the CSF is n ot negative only a quick complementary and fast test in the hands of t rained cytologists but also offers a particular and unequivocal method yielding precious information to clinicians.
