BACKGROUND
Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a systemic vasculitis involving the nervous system in 20-54% of cases; lesions of peripheral nerves are commonest, while manifestation in the central nervous system (CNS) is rarer. Focal hypertrophic pachymeningitis is a very rare complication of WG. This
Background Hemicrania continua (HC) is a primary headache syndrome characterized by a unilateral, moderate, continuous headache with exacerbations marked by migrainous and cranial autonomic symptoms. However, clinical phenotypes similar to primary HC may be subtended by several disorders. Case
Millions of patients see physicians each year for headache, most of which are primary headaches. However, serious secondary headaches, such as meningitis, represent about 5% of children and 1% to 2% of adults seen in the emergency department for headache. A primary care or emergency department
OBJECTIVE
Acute meningitis is a medical emergency and its accurate diagnosis could help physicians to accelerate treatment and reduce the mortality and morbidity of patients. Jolt accentuation of headache (Jolt) is an easy clinical maneuver that can be used to diagnose meningitis, but its diagnostic
We report a case of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) complicated with hypertrophic pachymeningitis. A 34-year old woman who was diagnosed as SLE in 1985 was admitted to our hospital for a high grade fever and a headache. Laboratory findings showed increased titer of anti-double strand DNA antibody
Headache is a frequent symptom at the onset of Listeria meningitis, accompanied by others such as fever, altered mental status and meningeal signs, but never reported so far as an isolated symptom.Two immunocompetent males, with no history of primary BACKGROUND
Idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis (IHP) is a rare condition, characterized by a chronic fibrosing inflammatory process usually involving either the intracranial or spinal dura mater, but rarely both. Here, we report a rare case of IHP affecting both the intracranial and spinal dura
BACKGROUND
Idiopathic hypertrophic cranial pachymeningitis (IHCP) is an uncommon disorder due to localized or diffuse thickening of the dura mater. While headache is the most common manifestation, the clinical characteristics of the headache in IHCP have not been well characterized.

METHODS
A 43-year-old man was admitted to a hospital because of an exacerbation of severe headache, which for three years had been refractory to any treatment. Headache had led to chronic use of analgesics and to drug-treated depression. As a result he had to quit his job the previous year and had
Varicella zoster virus causes two distinct clinical diseases. Varicella is the primary infection and results from exposure of a person susceptible to the virus. The virus remains latent in cranial nerve ganglia, dorsal root ganglia, and autonomic ganglia along the entire neuraxis. Years later, in
The effect of sumatriptan has not been previously described in the treatment of the headache of meningitis, although this headache has similarities to migraine. This study presents the clinical features of two patients who had fulminant bacterial meningitis with migraine-like headache and who
Human parasitic infections are uncommon outside the tropical north but common in animals throughout Australia. The rat lung worm, Angiostrongylus cantonensis, can invade the human brain to cause a chronic meningitis with prolonged headache. This condition can be diagnosed by finding a high
Jolt accentuation or exacerbation of a baseline headache with horizontal rotation of the neck is a physical finding believed to assess for meningeal irritation. We conducted a prospective observational study of neurologically intact emergency department (ED) patients undergoing lumbar puncture in 2
Three cases of idiopathic hypertrophic cranial pachymeningitis are presented. The diagnosis was based on the CT scan or MRI findings (or both) of thickened enhancing dura. In all cases, meningeal biopsies were performed and microscopic findings were compatible with nonspecific inflammation. All
