Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is the neoplastic proliferation associated with a variety of neurological manifestations, caused by metabolic abnormalities or bone destruction. Development of a cerebral myeloma tumor is uncommon. Imaging studies include radiographic skeletal surveys, magnetic resonance imaging, computerized tomography. Treatment patients with MM include the systemic and intrathecal chemotherapy, irradiation but in some patients neurosurgery intervention is needed.
