Abstract

Neurologic symptoms are quite common in multiple myeloma, but direct invasion of central nervous system is extremely rare. Leptomeningeal multiple myeloma, as a rare neurological manifestation of multiple myeloma, presents with impairment of consciousness, cranial nerve palsies and convulsions. Here, we describe a 52-year- old male patient, known case of multiple myeloma, who presented with bilateral visual loss and difficulty in swallowing. © 2018, Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS).
