A Case of Mistaken Identity - An Unusual Presentation of Neoplastic
Meningitis and a Reminder of the Hallmark Features
Abstract
Neoplastic meningitis remains a diagnostic challenge due to its varied
clinical manifestations. We discuss a presentation with dizziness with
an initial diagnosis of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. We
highlight the hallmark findings and reflect on how clinicians may miss
evolving features in recurrent attenders due to ‘anchoring’ to previous
diagnoses.
