Description
A 61-year-old man developed disturbance of consciousness for 2 weeks. He showed neck stiffness and hyporeflexia. Analysis of his cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) revealed pleocytosis and markedly reduced glucose contents. Adenosine deaminase (ADA) levels in the CSF were elevated (28.8 IU/l). Brain magnetic resonance imagings showed enhancement of the leptomeninges. Tuberculous meningitis was considered, but antituberculous drug was not effective. Repeated cytological analysis of the CSF demonstrated atypical cells with enlarged unevenly distributed nuclei and immunoreactive with glial fibrillary acidic protein. We diagnosed him as leptomeningeal gliomatosis. CSF ADA may be elevated in this rare disorder, and here we emphasize that repeated cytological analysis with immunohistochemical staining was useful for diagnosis.
