Abstract: We describe the case of a 73-year-old woman presenting with headaches, confusion, and vision disturbances. Brain MRI showed a large T2-hyperintense lesion in the right temporo-occipital region with vasogenic edema and leptomeningeal enhancement. A leptomeningeal biopsy was performed, which led to a definitive diagnosis.
