Idiopathic hypertrophic chronic pachymeningitis (IHCP) is characterised by inflammatory fibrotic thickening of the dura mater. Long term management is controversial. A 28 year old man with craniospinal IHCP and prominent lymphocytic meningitis is reported. Cerebrospinal fluid and histological examination suggested a CD4+ T cell driven process and B cell stimulation. After surgical, tuberculostatic, and immunosuppressive treatment failed to control the progressive meningeal hypertrophy, causing severe headache and neurological disability, the disease process eventually abated with intraventricular cytarabine treatment.
