Abstract

A 41-year-old patient was seen in the neurology clinic because of severe memory loss and vision problems. He described his vision problem as “a sail moving in front of his eyes”. He also reported loss of sensation and strength in his right arm and leg. On clinical examination loss of sensation on the right side of his face, arm and leg were evident. This was accompanied by loss of strength in his right arm and leg, and right sided asteriognosia.
