Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a pauci-immune small vessel vasculitis characterised by neutrophil-mediated vasculitis and granuloma. The presence of intracranial parenchymal space-occupying lesions is rarely seen in GPA patients. In this manuscript, we report a case of GPA with granuloma of the fourth ventricle accompanied by obstructive hydrocephalus. Treatment with glucocorticoids (GCs) and multiple immunosuppressants cyclophosphamide (CYC), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), and rituximab (RTX) showed poor efficacy in this case. After removal of the granuloma by craniotomy, GPA relapsed within 3 months. Under the premise of GC and MMF treatment combined with intrathecal injection of dexamethasone (DXM) and methotrexate (MTX), the intracranial granuloma gradually shrank, and the patient's general condition was alleviated, showing that this is an effective treatment method. Key Points • To date, there are few reports of granulomatous vasculitis combined with granuloma of the fourth ventricle, and our case is the second. • In this case, multiple immunosuppressants and rituximab were ineffective treatments, and the intracranial granuloma was effectively controlled by intrathecal injection of dexamethasone (DXM) and methotrexate (MTX). • Based on this report, it can be suggested that intrathecal injection is effective in treating patients with GPA and central nervous system involvement, but large-scale sample studies are needed.
