title: [Hypertrophic basal pachymeningitis presenting as Tolosa-Hunt syndrome].
abstract: We examined 6 patients with hypertrophic basal pachymeningitis using clinical, laboratory and instrumental methods. The clinical presentations were similar to Tolosa-Hunt syndrome although the differences were noted. One case is described in-depth. Based on literature and own observations, we considered the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnostic features and treatment of hypertrophic basal pachymeningitis.
