Rheumatoid Meningitis: A Case Review

Conclusions: Cerebrospinal fluid findings for RM are nonspecific, typically lymphocytic pleocytosis; however, they can be neutrophilic, as in this case. Magnetic resonance imaging findings consist of leptomeningeal and pachymeningeal enhancement but can also involve the parenchyma. The diagnosis is typically confirmed with meningeal biopsy. Treatment involves high-dose corticosteroids or immunomodulatory therapy, or both. Long-term follow-up with radiologic surveillance typically ranges from improvement to resolution.
