[Hypertrophic pachymeningitis, glomerulonephritis and P-ANCA associated small vessel vasculitis]. / Paquimeningitis hipertrofica, glomerulonefritis y vasculitis de pequeños vasos asociada a ANCA.

Hypertrophic pachymeningitis is a very unusual disease, the main characteristic of which is thickening of the dura mater. We describe a patient who started this illness showing chronic headache and pauciimmune necrotizing extracapillary perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (P-ANCA) associated glomerulonephritis. The diagnosis was made by brain magnetic resonance image. She received immunosuppressant therapy with prednisonel and cyclophosphamide with clinical improvement.
