Clivus-involved immunoglobulin G4 related hypertrophic pachymeningitis mimicking meningioma: A case report.
Abstract
Immunoglobulin G4 related disease (IgG4-RD) is a fibroinflammatory disease with markedly elevated serum IgG4 levels and fibrous tissue proliferation, accompanied by numerous plasma cells. IgG4 related hypertrophic pachymeningitis (IgG4-RHP) is relatively rare and indistinguishable from other phymatoid diseases before the operation. The risk of long-term immunosuppression needs to be balanced with disease activity.
