ABSTRACT
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease of the monocyte-macrophage system involving clonal proliferation of Langerhans cells. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement of LCH occurs in 10-57% of all LCH cases. This disease is known to present in two ways in the CNS intracranial tumorous lesions or intracranial nontumorous lesions (neurodegeneration). We report here an LCH patient who developed gait disturbance and dysarthria due to neurodegenerative lesions associated with LCH.
