In cranial pachymeningitis,
headache
, cranial nerve palsies, and ataxia were the most common clinical manifestations. We reported two rare cases presenting only
headache
or convulsion as a main symptom. A 66-year-old man was suffering from severe continuous
headache
for years with no other clinical symptoms. Laboratory data revealed positive RA test and elevated
RAPA
. With oral steroid therapy, his
headache
was subsided. A 39-year-old woman visited us with convulsive attacks as only symptom. Biopsy of the thickened dura revealed granulated epithelioid cells without central necrosis. With antituberculosis therapy, hypertrophy of dura, as well as the symptom, was disappeared. It is difficult to diagnose pachymeningitis when patients manifest only
headache
or convulsion. We suggest to carry out Gd-enhanced MR scan in these cases.
