Differential Diagnosis for Neoplastic Meningitis:
 
*[[Meningitis]] from infectious causes - infectious meningitis may to some degree manifest like neoplastic meningitis due to meningeal irritation. This include viral, bacterial, fungal and HIV-associated causes of meningitis.
*[https://www.cedars-sinai.edu/Patients/Health-Conditions/Neurosarcoidosis.aspx Neurosarcoidosis.]
*[https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/vasculitis/symptoms-causes/syc-20363435 Vasculitis] - the generalized nature of vessel involvement in these diseases may, to some extent involve the meninges. [[Vasculitis]] documented to present like neoplastic meningitis include [[Kawasaki disease]], [[Takayasu arteritis]], [[Polyarteritis nodosa]], [[Polyarteritis nodosa|microscopic polyarteritis nodosa]] and [[Granulomatosis with polyangiitis|Wegener granulomatosis]].
*Systemic connective tissue diseases - particularly [[SLE]] and [[Sjögren's syndrome|Sjogren's syndrome]] share some of the manifestation of neoplastic meningitis.

Overview

Neoplastic meningitis must be differentiated from infections (meningitis, Lyme disease, neurocysticercosis), neoplastic (intracerebral metastasis, dural metastasis), inflammatory (rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, polychondritis), and granulomatous disorders (sarcoidosis, histiocytosis, Wegener's granulomatosis, vasculitis).[1]
