| Abstract |
|
"Idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis (IHP) is an uncommon chronic inflammatory disorder that causes a localized or diffuse fibrous thickening of the dura matter. It presents as diverse neurologicalsymptoms attributed to meningeal involvement and increased intracranial pressure. IHP is diagnosedby magnetic resonance image (MRI) with gadolinium-enhancement and brain biopsy, whichcan reveal an inflammatory change and diffuse fibrosis of dura matter. It has been reported that IHPmight fairly well respond to corticosteroid treatment or immunosuppressant. However, we presenthere on a case of atypical type of IHP with predominantly leptomeningeal enhancement and poor responseto steroid and immunosuppressive agent.
