    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Dural plasmacytoma is a rare plasma cell myeloma affecting the dura mater.
    • It typically presents in middle-aged women with symptoms of intracranial hypertension.

    Observation:

    • This report details a case of dural plasmacytoma of the tentorium cerebelli in a woman.
    • Computed tomography (CT) was utilized for management, a novel approach for this condition.
    • Unique normalization of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was observed post-treatment.

    Findings:

    • Successful management was achieved through surgical decompression and radiotherapy.
    • CT imaging proved beneficial in the patient's care.
    • Local treatment led to the restoration of normal serum and CSF IgG levels, mirroring findings in two prior cases.

    Implications:

    • Dural plasmacytoma management can be effective with a combination of surgery and radiotherapy.
    • CT imaging may play a crucial role in diagnosing and managing dural plasmacytomas.
    • Normalization of IgG levels post-treatment suggests a positive prognostic indicator for dural plasmacytoma.
