A report of Bell's Palsy triggered by leptomeningeal metastases from recurrent high grade serous ovarian cancer

• 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 repea...

description • 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.
