title: [Sarcoidosic pachymeningitis: course with corticosteroid therapy in magnetic resonance imaging].
abstract: Cranial pachymeningitis is a rare manifestation of sarcoidosis, corresponding to a pseudo-tumoral thickening of the meninges. We report the case of an African patient who presented with isolated headaches. CT-scan and MRI showed the topography of the lesions and their regression under corticosteroid therapy.
