Abstract

ABSTRACT: Hypertrophic pachymeningitis is a rare inflammatory process characterized by thickening of the dura mater that can be idiopathic or secondary to a variety of conditions such as ANCA-related vasculitis, IgG4-related disease, Sjögren syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, sarcoidosis, and infections. It can cause various neurological alterations such as headache, cranial nerve disorder, cerebellar disorder, sensory impairment, and weakness. Brain MRI is useful for imaging diagnosis of hypertrophic pachymeningitis, showing focal thickening and enhancement of the dura mater. Here we report 4 cases of idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis where 67Ga clearly accumulated in the dura mater.
