Abstract: The prognosis after central nervous system relapse in a triple negative breast cancer is grim. However, brain insult in a triple negative breast cancer is not always due to metastasis and other possibilities should be kept in mind too. We report a case of a young female, who had a local relapse of triple negative breast cancer and developed new onset neurological symptoms causing suspicion of CNS metastasis; however, the cause of neurological presentation was pre-existing comorbidities.
