A patient had severe hydrocephalus and diffuse leptomeningeal enhancement on MR which mimicked leptomeningeal spread of a primary brain tumor. The leptomeningeal enhancement resolved completely after decompression of the hydrocephalus. Data suggest that the leptomeningeal enhancement is caused by vascular stasis induced by the hydrocephalus.
