In this case report, we describe the case of a patient given the presumptive diagnosis of rheumatoid leptomeningitis on the basis of clinical findings and clinical response to antirheumatic medications after other causes of meningitis were excluded. Numerous case reports describe rheumatoid meningitis; however, rheumatoid leptomeningitis, in the absence of pachymeningitis, is a rare phenomenon. As such, the literature about it is scant. This unique case provides an opportunity to further characterize the symptoms and radiological findings of leptomeningitis in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis.
