• Diagnosis of Bing-Neel syndrome (BNS) remains challenging and recent expert recommendations include MRI in the diagnostic criteria for the syndrome. • The most common radiological manifestations of BNS are leptomeningeal/dural infiltration or parenchymal involvement of brain or spinal cord, but many atypical forms may exist with various presentations. • Appropriate imaging protocol for BNS should include enhanced MRI studies of both brain and spine.
