Idiopathic Hypertrophic Pachymeningitis
Neurol 62:686-694, Kupersmith,M.J.,et al, 2004
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
IHP can be suspected on MRI and defined pathologically on biopsy. Untreated, the clinical course is usually marked by severe headache and progressive neurologic deterioration and vision loss. Although initially steroid-responsive, clinical manifestations frequently recur with corticosteroid taper, requiring the addition of immunosuppressive agents in some cases.
