Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4)-related disease is a newly recognized form of immune-mediated disease, which is characterized by IgG4+ lymphoplasmacytic infiltration and fibrosis in the systemic organs. Although aortitis/periaortitis is a phenotype of IgG4-related disease, the relationship between cerebrovascular disease and IgG4-related disease remains unclear. Herein, we report the case of a 49-year-old man with recurrent stroke induced by IgG4-related arteritis. Case reports or studies examining the association between IgG4-related arteritis and stroke are limited. Although a definitive link between IgG4-related arteritis and stroke has not been established, IgG4-related arteritis should be considered as an etiology in patients with recurrent idiopathic stroke.

Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated disorder characterized by elevated serum IgG4 levels and the enlargement and fibrosis of organs. As a rare manifestation, coronary arteries can be affected by IgG4-RD as coronary periarteritis, leading to serious complications such as stenosis or aneurysm. Although coronary periarteritis poses a life-threatening condition, optimal treatment strategies remain unclear due to its extreme rarity.

Background: Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related diseases are systemic fibroinflammatory disease characterized by extensive infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells in the affected tissue(s), with high plasma levels of IgG4. However, coronary involvement is rare.
Case Summary: A 70-year-old man was diagnosed with IgG4-related coronary arteritis, pancreatitis, and cholangitis during full-body contrast computed tomography (CT) examination prior to surgery for an iliac artery aneurysm.

Tear inflammatory cytokines are a novel biomarker studied in a range of ocular surface diseases, periorbital and orbital conditions. This single-centre prospective study between 2022 and 2024 aims to characterise tear cytokine profiles (Interleukin-1β [IL-1β], IL-2, IL-6, Interferon-γ [IFN-γ] and Tumour Necrosis Factor-α [TNF- α]) in orbital inflammatory disease (OID). OID patients had pre-treatment tear collection via micropipette, and cytokine analysis via multiplex bead array analysis.

Large vessel vasculitis (LVV) is a group of inflammatory diseases that affect the aorta and its major branches, causing stenosis, aneurysms, or dissections. LVV can be associated with various disorders, such as IgG4-related disease, Takayasu arteritis, giant cell arteritis, and Behcet's disease. Aneurysms due to Behcet's disease are rare and challenging to manage, as they have high rates of morbidity and mortality.

Introduction: IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a systemic immune-mediated disease that can involve nearly any organ. IgG4-RD can affect the kidney in different disease patterns, collectively referred to as IgG4-related kidney disease (IgG4-RKD).
Methods: We conducted a tissue-based cohort study with clinicopathological correlation in 125 patients with IgG4-RKD.
