Article Abstract
Carcinomatous meningitis from uterine cervix-related malignancies is a rare condition. We found only eight cases of meningeal metastasis from primary cervical carcinoma in the English-language medical literature. This rare complication occurs in the advanced stage of cervical cancer. Lumbar punctures for neoplastic cells are advised, and the prognosis remains poor.
