Leptomeningeal Carcinomatosis (LC) is the dissemination of cancer, commonly breast, lung, melanoma,acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma occurring through either direct extension from surrounding tumours or metastasis of a preexisting, parenchymal central nervous system tumour. A rise in the diagnosis of leptomeningeal disease has been seen with increased survival rates of cancer due to improved medical treatment, with 5-8% of patients with cancer going on to develop LC

associated with sensorineural hearing dysfunction, headaches, and, on occasion, cranial nerve neuropathy (Bell’s palsy or trigeminal disturbance), all of which can have significant impact on quality of life. Plotkin and colleagues suggests an average linear growth rate of 1.9mm/year (Plotkin et al., 2012; Slattery, Fisher, Iqbal, & Oppenhiemer, 2004).
Hearing loss is usually progressive, and has been traditionally managed with either surgical resection or radiation of the VS tumour (Halliday, Parry

development of a tumour was identified. It was observed that hypergastrinaemia, diabetes and ulcerative colitis may be associated with the development of NEN, but no cause-and-effect relationship was confirmed(4).
A special feature of NEN is the production of hormones or biogenic amines which can produce numerous clinical symptoms. In the case of disease spread symptoms of carcinoid syndrome may occur such as diarrhoea, tachycardia, hot flushes and reddening of the skin(3). The majority of NEN are

Endoscopy of the urinary bladder showed a tumour infiltrating the ureter. A ureteral catheter (Double J) was inserted into the renal pelvis on the right side, which restored urinary outflow and resulted in clinical improvement. The patient refused surgical treatment for a bladder tumour and still remains under
