| description | We report a case of an inflammatory pseudotumour (IP)
involving the floor of the skull base, which demonstrated
aggressive behavior both clinically and radiologically. In this
case, the diagnosis was established by clinical presentation,
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), histopathological
examination (HPE) and the dramatic response towards high
dose steroid therapy. The clinical features improved with
oral cyclophosphamide in combination with oral steroid,
which were given for a period of three months. |
