Abstract

The article describes the case of a 7-year-old female child who was admitted to a private institution with severe abdominal pain and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. She was diagnosed with primary diffuse leptomeningeal (PDL) supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor (sPNET) based on the biopsy and pathological findings obtained after performing various tests on the girl. The girl received a palliative chemotherapy treatment after being referred to the oncology department. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
