Abstract:
Neurolymphomatosis is rare neurologic manifestation, that usually develops in patients with wide spread non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Cranial neuropathy is an unusual syndrome of neurolymphomatosis that is sometimes difficult to diagnose using conventional imaging modalities. We report a 63 year-old man with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with progressive multiple cranial nerve palsy. He complained progressive cranial nerve palsy. We performed conventional magnetic resonance imaging and cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) exam. But no any abnormality showed in conventional imaging and CSF study. We report a patient who presented with cranial neuropathy in neurolymphomatosis.
