Abstract

Multifocal fibrosclerosis, a rare disorder, has no known etiology and is considered to be a systemic illness manifested by combinations of fibrosing process of multiple areas such as mediastinal fibrosis, retroperitoneal fibrosis, orbital pseudotumor, sclerosing cholangitis, and Reidel's thyroiditis. We have experienced a 49-year-old man with pseudotumor of the orbit, sclerosing cholangitis, and CNS involvements included unrecognized meningitis and suspicious CNS vasculitis. The patient showed clinical improvement with corticosteroid therapy.
