title: Dural involvement in rheumatoid arthritis.
abstract: Involvement of the cranial dura in rheumatoid arthritis is rare; a new case of this complication is added to the four recorded instances. Dural involvement in rheumatoid arthritis may occur in the absence of other rheumatoid lesions of the CNS; it appears to take a clinically uneventful course and does not seem to represent a factor predisposing to the development of chronic subdural hematoma.
