Sumario:An 80-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis had gait difficulties and frequent falls. MRI of the brain showed an extra-axial enhancing lesion overlying the right frontal–parietal cortex, that progressively extended to the contralateral side. This was accompanied by further decline in her functional status. We discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic approach of a pachy–leptomeningeal process in a rheumatoid patient.
