TI  - Hypertrophic pachymeningitis in eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis.

AB  - Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is one of the 
      anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV), which 
      is characterised by systemic small vessels vasculitis with associated 
      eosinophilia. Hypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP) is an inflammatory disease in 
      which the cerebral or spinal dura mater is thickened. AAV other than EGPA may 
      sometimes develop HP; however, patients with EGPA rarely develop HP. This is the 
      case of myeloperoxidase-ANCA-positive EGPA that presented with headache and 
      blurred vision and was diagnosed with HP. It was successfully treated with pulsed 
      steroid therapy and intravenous cyclophosphamide without any relapse for more 
      than 4 years.
