Hypertrophic cranial pachymeningitis rarely extends to the brain parenchyma, bone, and soft tissues. This case report details pachymeningoencephalitis, offering insights into its clinical presentation and pathogenesis.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Hypertrophic cranial pachymeningitis is an uncommon condition characterized by thickening of the dura mater.
  • Previous reports have primarily focused on dural involvement without significant extension to deeper structures.

Observation:

  • This study presents the first documented case of pachymeningitis extending into the cerebral parenchyma, termed pachymeningoencephalitis.
  • The condition also involved adjacent cranial bone and extracranial soft tissues, indicating extensive disease spread.

Findings:

  • The case highlights an unusual and extensive manifestation of hypertrophic cranial pachymeningitis.
  • Detailed clinical features and potential pathogenetic mechanisms are discussed, expanding the understanding of this rare disease.

Implications:
