Abstract Purpose:To report a case of hypertrophic pachymeningitis with bilateral visual loss.

Case:A 87-year-old female presented with bilateral visual loss since 2 weeks before. She had had chronic pain in the forehead and been receiving treatment for exudative otitis media for 4 months. She was found positive for myeloperoxidase antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(MPO-ANCA), leading to the tentative diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis and to treatment with peroral prednisolone.

Findings and Clinical Course:Visual acuity was no light perception in either eye. Both eyes showed restricted abduction. Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging showed thickening of dura mater with pachymeningeal enhancement involving both optic canals. Pulsed corticosteroid therapy was followed by corrected visual acuity of 0.06 right 6 weeks later. Visual acuity in the left eye remained the same after temporary improvement.

Conclusion:This case illustrates that hypertrophic pachymeningitis may induce rapid and bilateral visual impairment, needing prompt diagnosis and initiation of treatment.
