Primary intracranial meningeal melanoma mimicking chronic meningitis: A case report

A 6-year -8-month-old girl was presented with headache, vomiting, and unstable gait. Neurologic examination revealed dysmetria, positive tandem gait, and negative Romberg test. Computed tomography of the brain showed mild ventriculomegaly (Fig.  1A). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis revealed negative findings. However, there was a suspicion of cerebellitis. She was discharged with clinical improvement. However, the headache and vomiting recurred after 6 months. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed marked dilatation of all ventricles with prominent leptomeningeal contrast enhancement.
