Abstract
Central nervous system involvement in systemic mastocytosis (SM) is very rare. This case report describes the computed tomography and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings of central nervous system involvement in a patient with isolated bone marrow mastocystosis. Bone marrow infiltration in SM caused cranial nerve dysfunction and meningeal irritation secondary to narrowing of cranial apertures and meningeal involvement, respectively. MR imaging is the modality of choice in both detection and follow-up of SM and also useful for differential diagnosis and detection of complications.
