Abstract

Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by the neoplastic proliferation of plasma cells producing a monoclonal immunoglobulin. Although neurological complications are commonly seen in MM, they most frequently occur due to spinal cord compression by bony lesions, paraprotein-related neuropathy, hypercalcemia, hyper viscosity, or amyloidosis. Less than 1% of patients with MM present with a leptomeningeal disease. We present a case of a leptomeningeal myeloma in a 61-year-old woman with known relapsed MM who presented with headaches and dysphagia. We present this case to alert clinicians to keep a high index of suspicion in cases of Multiple Myeloma presenting with non-specific neurological symptoms.
