Immunoglobulin G4-related spinal pachymeningitis.
In this report, we describe a case of IgG4-related spinal pachymeningitis in a middle-age male who presented initially with neck pain and rheumatoid arthritis-like symptoms and later on developed both right upper and lower limb weakness. He was found to had pachymeningeal thickening on a cervical magnetic resonance image (MRI) and elevated serum IgG4 levels. He was treated with glucocorticoids and rituximab, which led to a significantly positive radiological response.
