Figure 2 T1 weighted, axial MRI of the brain with contrast reveals diffuse leptomeningeal enhancement (A). T2 weighted, coronal MRI of the brain reveals thickening of the optic nerve-meningeal complex (↑) and increased CSF signal in subarachnoid space (B).

Abbreviations: CSF, cerebral spinal fluid; MRI, magnetic resonance image.
