Imaging Appearance of Pachymeningeal Tuberculosis
AJR 169:1421-1424, Goyal,M.,et al, 1997
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Tuberculosis can lead to localized or diffuse involvement of the pachymeninges.Most of the focal lesions were seen as en plaque, homogeneous,uniformly enhancing dural-based masses.The lesions appeared hyperdense on plain CT scans,isointense to brain parenchyma on T1-weighted MR images,and isointense to hypointense on T2-weighted MR images.One patient had diffuse sheetlike thickening of the pachymeninges in the right hemicranium,involving both the supratentorial and infratentorial compartments.
