Description |
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) may involve the central nervous system and manifest as pachymeningitis. Usual clinical findings include headaches and various cranial neuropathies. Although inconsistently reported, papilledema and intracranial hypertension may be a complication of GPA with pachymeningitis, as a result of the obstruction of venous outflow by thickened meninges. We describe a case of GPA that initially manifested with recurrent papilledema and intracranial hypertension, mimicking idiopathic intracranial hypertension. |
