Abstract
Immunoglobulin G4-related diseases (IgG4-RD) are a newly recognized category of diseases. CNS involvement in IgG4-RD includes hypophysitis(1) and intracranial or spinal manifestations of hypertrophic pachymeningitis.(2,3) We present a unique case of rapid cognitive decline due to IgG4-related leptomeningitis.
