| Pachymeningitis. Extensive
posterior fossa dural and meningeal enhancement with
extension into the bilateral internal auditory canals
(arrows). +C = contrast enhanced.

| In the RGB+C image, chronic
small vessel ischemic white matter disease is depicted in green-blue,
reflecting increased T2 (blue) and FLAIR (green) signal, with minimal T1 (red)
contribution. The abnormally thickened and contrast-enhanced dura
is white.

|
| Note the abnormally thick and enhancing dura toward the
convexities.

| Color-encoded MR images of 66-year-old man with persistent headaches. Chronic extensive thickening and enhancement
of the meninges in supra- and infratentorial regions are
consistent with pachymeningitis. Additional
scattered ischemic white matter changes (green-blue) are seen.
