Description A 27-year-old woman developed left foot numbness followed by headaches, vertigo, and imbalance. Her symptoms continued to worsen and within two months, she developed binocular diplopia, bilateral hearing loss, worsening numbness and required a walker for ambulation. On examination her vital signs were normal with mild nuchal rigidity. She had bilateral grade 3 disc edema with intact vision, bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia, skew deviation, mild bilateral hearing loss, left-sided tongue weakness, decreased sensation to pain and temperature of the lower extremities up to T10 level and ataxia. The remainder of her examination including strength and reflexes were normal.
