Meningeal leukemia

Meningeal leukemia, also referred to as leukemic meningitis or leukemic leptomeningitis, is a serious complication characterized by the metastatic infiltration of leukemic cells into the leptomeninges and cerebrospinal fluid of the central nervous system Pathophysiologically, leukemic blasts cross the blood-brain or blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier to seed the subarachnoid space, leading to meningeal inflammation, disrupted cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, and potential cranial nerve involvement
