Primary leptomeningeal tumors are rare and can have multiple origins. This young man presented an intracranial hypertension syndrome and brain MRI features of diffuse leptomeningeal enhancement over cerebral and cerebellar hemispheres.

Besides the paucity of reports of primary leptomeningeal PNET, its differentiation from primary leptomeningeal medulloblastomas is not always clear-cut and is discussed.
