ABSTRACT
A distinct CT enhancement pattern of leptomeningeal metastasis from a systemic malignancy is described, corresponding to the pathologic and myelographic patterns of this entity. The uniform total subarachnoid enhancement, simulating intrathecal contrast, heralded sheetlike tumor proliferation along the surface of the spinal cord in an asymptomatic patient. Since the majority of hypervascular intraspinal abnormalities show focal enhancement with intravenous contrast, recognition of this pattern may provide unique clinical information.
