Understanding Peripachymeningitis: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options
Peripachymeningitis is a rare inflammatory condition that affects the meninges, the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. The term "peri" means "around" or "near," and "pachymeningitis" refers to inflammation of the meninges. Therefore, peripachymeningitis refers to inflammation of the meninges near the surface of the brain or spinal cord.
The condition is often associated with other conditions such as sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, or lupus, and can cause symptoms such as headache, fever, neck stiffness, and sensitivity to light. Treatment options for peripachymeningitis depend on the underlying cause of the condition, but may include antibiotics, corticosteroids, or surgery.
