We report two cases of diffuse pontine glioma diagnosed clinicoradiologically and treated with conventional radiotherapy. Observations: On follow-up, both patients showed clinical features suggestive of meningeal spread although imaging for pontine tumor showed stable disease. Leptomeningeal disease in the spine was confirmed on imaging and in one case by cerebrospinal fluid examination also. During the follow-up of patients with pontine glioma, the possibility of leptomeningeal involvement must be borne in mind.
