IgG4-related disease is an autoimmune process that presents with tumefactive lesions characterized by storiform fibrosis, a dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate rich in IgG4+ plasma cells, obliterative phlebitis, and often elevated serum IgG4 levels. Central nervous system IgG4-related Hypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP) is characterized by cranial and/or spinal thickening of the dura mater with or without associated inflammation. Neuroimaging studies reveal dura mater thickening and focal or diffuse contrast enhancement. It is described in association with trauma, OBJECTIVE
Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease represents a spectrum of fibro-inflammatory disorders that affects various organ systems, including the central nervous system.
METHODS
Here we present the case of lgG4-related hypertrophic meningitis with exclusively leptomeningeal involvement and
The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics, treatment, and outcome according to each etiology of pachymeningitis.We conducted a retrospective multicenter French nationwide study between 2000 and 2016 to describe the characteristics, outcome, and treatment of pachymeningitis.We
BACKGROUND
