description Isolated spinal pachymeningitis is rarely encountered in clinical practice. Narrowing down the specific cause in individual patients is challenging as the possible etiologies are broad, there is substantial overlap in clinical presentation, and obtaining adequate data is complex, often affected by prior empiric treatments, including steroids. Here, we describe a rare patient with spinal pachymeningitis resulting in subacute to chronic progressive lower extremity weakness and eventually paraplegia. We discuss how we obtained the final diagnosis, provide our diagnostic framework, and offer practical advice in evaluating these patients.
