Özet

Background: Dural thickening is observed in lymphoma, dural carcinomatosis, meningioma, tuberculosis, and autoimmune diseases. We encountered a patient with dural thickening and complaints of neck and back pain, numbness and loss of strength in the hands. The patient also suffered from polychondritis and had previously received steroid and methotrexate treatment for this indication. The patients' serum was also positive for ANA, yet she did not have any other findings suggesting lupus. Our radiological and pathological analysis revealed IHSP (IgG4-related hypertrophic sclerosing pachymeningitis). In this review study, we provided a detailed literature survey to increase the awareness about IHSP in the neurosurgical community.
