This is strongly suggestive of hypertrophic meningitis, a condition Greyhounds appear predisposed to. Diffuse neoplastic processes affecting the meninges (meningeal carcinomatosis, lymphoma, granular cell tumor or histiocytic sarcoma) are considerations. However, all are less likely given the selective involvement of the pachymeninges without extension to the sulci, a characteristic which contrast administration is vital for the identification of and can be missed on other imaging sequences. Infectious diseases such as neospora and cryptococcus should also be ruled out with appropriate testing.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disease Overview <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">Hypertrophic meningitis has previously been reported in dogs and suspected to be of immune-mediated origin. Most affected dogs are presented with multiple cranial nerve signs as a result of peripheral nerve involvement as they travel through the pachymeninges with the trigeminal nerve being the most documented cranial nerve to be affected, responsible for the loss of sensation in this case. MRI is essential for the presumptive diagnosis of this condition although it should be accompanied by CSF analysis which most often reveals a lymphocytic pleocytosis.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">Histopathology has identified severe chronic, fibrotic, lymphoplasmacytic pachymeningitis resembling idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis (IHP) in humans.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">In humans, IHP is treated with glucocorticoids and other immunomodulating drugs such as azathioprine, cytosine arabinoside, methotrexate and cyclophosphamide. Treatment in veterinary medicine has been adapted from the treatment of CNS immune-mediated diseases and consists of the use of corticosteroids and cytosine arabinoside. Further studies are needed to evaluate other protocols and other immunomodulatory drugs (e.g., cyclosporine, procarbazine) in dogs. The prognosis can be guarded with recurrence being a feature of those initially successfully treated.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">With thanks to Dr. Nick Shackleton RVN, and the Neurology Team at <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dogwoodreferrals.co.uk\/\">Dogwood Referrals<\/a> for providing this case study.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">References<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default has-small-font-size\">Roynard P, Behr S, Barone G, Llabr\u00e9s-Diaz F, Cherubini GB.
