| Abstract | We report a patient with carcinomatous meningitis secondary to carcinoma caecum. The patient presented with multiple focal neurological signs and symptoms. Diagnosis was suggested by magnetic resonance imaging and confirmed by analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid. She received whole brain radiotherapy and other supportive measures. She succumbed to her disease while she was on treatment for carcinomatous meningitis. To our knowledge, this is only the second reported case of carcinomatous meningitis secondary to carcinoma caecum with confirmatory imaging and cytology. KEYWORDS: Carcinomatous Meningitis, Carcinoma Caecum. |
