Abstract
Hypertrophic pachymeningitis is rarely observed in inflammatory bowel disease. We report a woman with ulcerative colitis whose biopsy-confirmed hypertrophic pachymeningitis was complicated by cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and intracranial hypertension and required ventriculostomy and steroid therapy. This report highlights the challenges of the diagnosis and management of hypertrophic pachymeningitis from an unusual primary cause.Entities:
