| Abstrakt: | IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a multi-organ, immune-mediated inflammatory condition of unknown etiology characterized by infiltration of tissues by IgG4 producing plasma cells. IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) can ideally affect any organs, but the involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) is a rare entity. We present a case of a 67-year-old male who presented with diplopia with imaging showing hypertrophic pachymeningitis (HPM) and was diagnosed with IgG4-RD of the CNS based on histopathology report.
