- Abstract
The article describes the case of a 63-year-old man who complained of gradually worsening headache and who had been diagnosed six years ago with MPO-ANCA-positive ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). Topics discussed include conditions that accompanied his headache on admission, his diagnosis with hypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP), and treatment given that improved his symptoms and imaging findings.
