<p>A 75-year-old male with a 30-year history of ulcerative colitis requiring long-term oral corticosteroid therapy presented with a 6-month history of persistent headaches and gait disturbance. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated diffuse pachymeningeal enhancement and thickening along the bilateral cerebral convexities (<xref rid="f1-jmsni-2024-15-2-85-86" ref-type="fig">Fig. 1A</xref>, <xref rid="f1-jmsni-2024-15-2-85-86" ref-type="fig">B</xref>). Cerebrospinal fluid analysis revealed a normal white blood cell count (0 cells/&#x003bc;L), but markedly elevated protein levels (167.3 mg/dL) and an increased immunoglobulin G index (0.75). A vasculitis panel was all negative. Testing for myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibodies revealed positivity with an mean fluorescence intensity ratio of 4.00 (positive threshold &gt;3.65). Finally, the patient was diagnosed with MOG antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) presenting as pachymeningitis. After treatment with oral prednisolone and azathioprine, the patient demonstrated gradual clinical improvement, and the follow-up brain MRI after 3 months of treatment showed significant resolution of the pachymeningitis (<xref rid="f1-jmsni-2024-15-2-85-86" ref-type="fig">Fig. 1C</xref>, <xref rid="f1-jmsni-2024-15-2-85-86" ref-type="fig">D</xref>). Clinicians should be mindful that MOGAD can present with a wide variety of clinical manifestations, including pachymeningitis.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b1-jmsni-2024-15-2-85-86">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b2-jmsni-2024-15-2-85-86">2</xref></p>
