    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Neurology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells.
    • Meningeal involvement is an uncommon complication.

    Observation:

    • Presents 3 new cases and reviews 11 prior cases of meningeal myelomatosis.
    • Identifies characteristic clinical and cerebrospinal fluid findings.

    Findings:

    • Specific signs include seizures, confusion, cranial nerve palsies, and CSF plasma cells.
    • Meningeal myelomatosis often occurs in patients with high tumor burden or leukaemic myeloma.
    • Treatment is largely ineffective, with a poor prognosis.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of recognizing rare neurological presentations of multiple myeloma.
    • Suggests the need for improved diagnostic strategies and therapeutic approaches for meningeal myelomatosis.
