Abstract
A rare case of IgG4-related pachymeningitis is presented. The manuscript describes the multidisciplinary treatment of a rare entity in an exceptional location, prompting emergent surgical treatment. However, the correct intraoperative hypothesis led to a minimal surgical approach with fewer risks and good disease control. Finding a balance between maximising treatment outcome and minimising risks is often difficult for clinicians worldwide who encounter the same clinical dilemma. The known cases are summarised, as are radiological characteristics and common treatments.
