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.
