- FELLOWS' JOURNAL CLUBHead & NeckOpen AccessMR Imaging of IgG4-Related Disease in the Head and Neck and BrainK. Toyoda, H. Oba, K. Kutomi, S. Furui, A. Oohara, H. Mori, K. Sakurai, K. Tsuchiya, S.

Autoimmune pancreatitis, sclerosing cholangitis and sialoadenitis, retroperitoneal and mediastinal fibrosis, and insterstitial pneumonia are all IgG-4 related disorders. This short article discusses the head and neck manifestations of this disease: orbital pseudotumor and lacrimal gland, cranial nerve, and pituitary involvement. Intracranially, the dura may be also affected. All of these lesions were contrast-enhancing and T2 dark, findings to be kept in mind so that one can suggest their etiology.
