IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a multisystem inflammatory disorder. The diagnosis requires consideration of clinical, radiographic, serological, and pathological evidence. Neurological involvement by IgG4-RD is relatively uncommon and is being increasingly recognized and reported with hypertrophic pachymeningitis and hypophysitis as the most frequent manifestations. IgG4-related involvement of brain parenchyma is rare, but isolated case reports exist. Here, we report a case of a young boy who presented to us with bilateral optic neuropathy and bilateral hippocampal bleed-related neurological involvement in a possible IgG4-RD, a rare entity.
IgG4相关性疾病(IgG4-RD)是一种多系统炎症性疾病。诊断需要综合考虑临床、影像学、血清学和病理学证据。IgG4-RD累及神经系统相对少见,目前其越来越多地被认识和报道,最常见的表现为肥厚性硬脑膜炎和垂体炎。IgG4相关性脑实质受累罕见,但有个别病例报道。在此,我们报告一例年轻男孩,其可能患有IgG4-RD(一种罕见疾病),表现为双侧视神经病变以及与双侧海马出血相关的神经系统受累。
