MAZZOCCHI, Octavio et al. Hypertrophic pachymeningitis, glomerulonephritis and P-ANCA associated small vessel vasculitis. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2007, vol.67, n.2, pp.151-155. ISSN 0025-7680.
Hypertrophic pachymeningitis is a very unusual disease, the main characteristic of which is thickening of the dura mater. We describe a patient who started this illness showing chronic headache and pauci-immune necrotizing extracapillary perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (P-ANCA) associated glomerulonephritis. The diagnosis was made by brain magnetic resonance image. She received immunosuppressant therapy with prednisonel and cyclophosphamide with clinical improvement.
