Resumen_ingles
Introduction: Hypertrophic pachymeningitis is an uncommon process in the population at large, and even less common among the paediatric population. A possible immunological basis is currently being studied, with the consequent implications for its treatment.Clinical case study: The case described is that of a 13 year-old patient with headache and affected cranial nerves with the said diagnosis, reached through imaging tests and the coexistence of cytoplasmic anti-neutrophil antibodies with a myeloperoxidase pattern, with the extension study entirely negative.Conclusion: Diagnosis of the said pathology and its link with autoimmune aetiology, while infrequent, must be taken into consideration, as the implications for treatment, prognosis and development are considerable.

Resumen_ingles
Chronic cough (a cough lasting longer than 4 weeks) is a common symptom presented to primary care. The evaluation of a child with chronic cough should include a detailed medical history, physical examination, chest radiograph, spirometry (if the child is able), and allergy evaluation-skin test- is often recommended (elder than 3-4 years old). We describe evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and evolution in a 10 years old girl with chronic cough and the relationship between goiter, autoimmune hypothyroidism and her symptoms. A goiter can cause chronic cough. In patients with chronic cough, besides detailed medical history, physical examination, further investigation in accordance with the previous results and follow-up, it is recommended not to forget to evaluate the upper airway and neck.
