  RESULTS: We report a 66-year-old male with a history of renal cell carcinoma and bladder cancer who presented with upper abdominal pain, thoracic myelopathy (progressive weakness and numbness of the lower extremities, and gait disturbances), and weight [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Flushing

• Microscopic Hematuria

  Additionally, simple microscopic hematuria was found in 1 case suggestive of renal involvement and the other 1 complicated with interstitial lung disease. Then, a diagnosis of HSP secondary to AASV was made. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Cranial Nerve Involvement

  We present a case which is interesting not only by virtue of the rarity of this disease but also due to the extent of cranial nerves involved and the drastic response to therapy initiated once suspected on MRI. [omicsonline.org]

• Papilledema

  Clinical features include headache, cranial nerve impairment, paraparesis or tetraparesis, ataxia, hydrocephalus, papilledema, hemorrhage or secondary vascular occlusions (5). [path.upmc.edu]

  Other neurologic symptoms of IHP include cranial nerve palsies (cranial nerves IV–VIII), cerebellar ataxia, seizures, and neuroophthalmic symptoms such as visual field loss, complete blindness, optic neuropathy, and increased intracranial pressure with papilledema [pubs.rsna.org]

  Her left optic disk was atrophic and there was papilledema on the right eye. Another MRI was performed and showed the same pattern of meningeal enhancement seen on the first one. [scielo.br]

• Unable to Walk

  ABSTRACT We report a case of idiopathic hypertrophic spinal pachymeningitis in a 56-year-old woman who complained of a tingling sensation and progressive weakenss of both legs since 6 months prior, and then was unable to walk for 1 week. [jpatholtm.org]

  On presentation, he was unable to walk. He had a history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidaemia. [yumpu.com]
