| Summary: | Primary differential diagnoses
include meningoangiomatosis and
neurocutaneous melanosis. Meningoangiomatosis is a rare, benign disease
characterized by leptomeningeal calcifications and hamartomatous proliferation of meningeal cells along the
leptomeninges and cortex. In neurocutaneous melanosis, on the other hand,
multiple cutaneous nevi will be seen.
Imaging reveals melanin deposits
within the parenchyma and leptomeninges; these deposits appear similar to
those in SS. |
