Abstract
Oesophageal cancer rarely metastasis to the brain but advances in brain imaging and increasing survival of these patients has led to more detection of this condition. Although oesophageal cancer is common in the north of Iran it is less frequent in the central parts such as Yazd. Leptomeningeal metastasis is very uncommon in oesophageal cancer. This paper presents a 73-year-old man with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis from squamous cell carcinoma of oesophagus presented by hoarseness due to true vocal cord plegia.
