Uncommon Presentation: Leptomeningeal Metastases from Gastric Adenocarcinoma Masquerading as Subacute Epidural Hematoma

Tamada Akirha

Leptomeningeal metastases (LM) are a rare but serious complication of various cancers, including gastric adenocarcinoma. This condition involves the spread of cancer cells to the meninges, the thin layers of tissue covering the brain and spinal cord. Leptomeningeal metastases can manifest with a wide range of neurological symptoms that mimic other conditions, making diagnosis challenging. This article discusses a particularly intriguing case of LM originating from gastric adenocarcinoma, presenting symptoms that initially mimicked those of a subacute epidural hematoma.
