Abstract
A 23-year-old female university student was presented with recent onset of non-specific headache and dizziness. She had no neurological deficit on neu rological examination and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed diffuse enhancement in the basal cisterns and cerebral sulci. She was treat ed as tuberculous meningitis but she did not improve and developed respirat ory arrest. Autopsy showed primary multifocal leptomeningeal gliomatosis.
