Sumario:• CNS metastases involving leptomeninges (LM) are extremely rare in patients with ovarian cancer. • Prognosis for ovarian cancer patients with LM metastases is very poor and treatment is palliative in nature. • Chemotherapy is administered intrathecally via an Ommaya reservoir or intra-CSF via repeated lumbar punctures. • Early recognition of LM metastases can help maintain the patients’ quality of life by minimizing neurological deficits.
