Abstract Hypertrophic cranial pachymeningitis is a rare disorder that frequently presents with multiple cranial neuropathies. This disorder, which is characterized by thickening and infiltration of the cranial dura, can result from a variety of inflammatory and infectious conditions. A patient with hypertrophic cranial pachymeningitis is described in whom meningeal biopsy and bacterial cultures of the biopsy specimen revealed Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The authors believe this to be the first documented case of pachymeningitis secondary to this organism.
