Rheumatoid meningitis

There must be some epitope in the connective tissue of the falx cerebri to justify the characteristic radiological pattern seen in some forms of rheumatoid meningitis. There is observed contrast uptake in the meninges with surrounding parasagittal vasogenic edema and restricted diffusion in DWI MRI, likely in relation to local inflammatory changes with poorly soluble organized tissue due to rheumatoid nodules.
