“…HCP is involved in multiple sets of cranial nerves, manifesting as corresponding cranial nerves damage, and the most common damaged cranial nerves are VIII, VI, IX cranial nerves. Some RHP associated with hypertrophic spinal pachymeningitis (HSP) is called hypertrophic pachymeningitis (4,5). However, it is easy to be misdiagnosed as meningioma, lymphoma, metastasis and other intracranial space occupying lesions if only according to the imaging findings.…”

“…The possibility of an inflammatory/autoimmune origin is also well documented. 42 43 In addition to pachymeningitis, various types of headache-producing inflammatory autoimmune conditions of the central nervous system have been well described very recently. 44 45 46 Besides cases involving the dura, autoimmune encephalitis has been more frequently recognized over the past 10 years.…”

A retrospective multicenter chart review was conducted with the objective of evaluating the hypothesis that certain cases diagnosed as tension-type headache (TTH) in pediatric neurology are not stress-related or central sensitization-related conditions but may mimic an autoimmune disorder of the dura mater. Of the 29,642 patient charts reviewed, 12,424 charts (42%) were excluded because of incomplete data and 17,218 cases were analyzed. For all the 29,642 charts, TTH or chronic daily headaches were diagnosed in 29.2% of cases. Among the 17,218 cases subjected to detailed diagnostic procedures, TTH was diagnosed in only 5%. In 7,044 cases, the initial diagnosis of TTH was changed to headache attributed to infection (87.4%), which was supported by the presence of meningeal signs, high antistreptolysin-O titers, and, in 46% of cases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-detected thickening of the cranial dura mater. The initial diagnosis of migraine was confirmed in 87.7% of cases (8,034/9,162). In some cases of treatment-resistant pediatric recurrent headaches, which are initially diagnosed as TTH, a secondary type of headache may be suspected as the underlying cause. Usually this type of headache has streptococcal infection-related laboratory findings, the meninges as the site of the lesion, and meningism as the clinical presentation.

“…Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) was first reported as hyper-IgG4emia in autoimmune pancreatitis [1]. In recent studies, the hypertrophic pachymeningitis spectrum has also been included in IgG4-RDs [2][3][4]. Several studies have been conducted to examine the clinical and imaging features of IgG4-related hypertrophic pachymeningitis [2][3][4].…”

Polycystic subdural hygroma associated with immunoglobulin G4-related intracranial hypertrophic pachymeningitis: a case report

et al. 2020

Background: Recent studies have examined hypertrophic pachymeningitis as an IgG4-RD. However, there are no reports of immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related hypertrophic pachymeningitis with polycystic subdural hygroma. Case presentation: A 56-year-old man presented to the hospital with complaints of a persistent, pulsatile, occipital headache and general malaise. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed hypertrophic pachymeningitis with polycystic subdural hygroma and hematoma. Based on the dural biopsy findings and exclusion of other diseases, the patient was diagnosed with immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related hypertrophic pachymeningitis. IgG4related diseases may cause subdural hygroma more commonly than other diseases that cause hypertrophic pachymeningitis. Conclusions: This is the first case report discussing polycystic subdural hygroma and hematoma with IgG4-related hypertrophic pachymeningitis.
