IgG4-related pachymeningitis-Long term follow up and outcome of six patients.

Our patients were mainly older males with sole neurological involvement. Non-specific headache was the most common manifestation, and serum IgG4 levels were not useful for diagnosis. Typical radiology and tentorial thickening should suggest IgG4-RD and prompt an early biopsy. Moreover, accompanying hypophysitis could also be a clue. With steroids+ rituximab treatment, no relapse related to meningeal involvement was seen in long-term follow-up.
