Abstract
Neuroblastoma is an extracranial solid tumor that is most commonly observed in
children, yet it is rare to have brain metastasis in neuroblastoma during primary
involvement or relapse. In this article, we report a successful treatment of high risk
neuroblastoma with primary leptomeningeal metastasis based on developing countries
facilities and explain combination chemotherapy (a classic regimen with salvage
regimen based on temozolamid and methotroxate intratechal chemotherapy and
localized radiation therapy) as a multimodal therapy.
