Rheumatoid nodulosis of the meninges.
Rheumatoid nodulosis of the brain and leptomeninges has been reported only rarely, usually in patients with severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We describe the occurrence of leptomeningeal rheumatoid nodulosis occurring in a patient with nondeforming RA occurring in the setting of methotrexate therapy.
