A 24 year-old @entity1 experienced a @entity7995 which improved completely after 2 months of non- @entity134 antiinflammatory therapy. One month after the end of the treatment he developed a Korsakoff-like @entity2730 . Three months later he complained of horizontal @entity892 . A CT Scan showed a diffuse enhancement of the periventricular areas, corpus callosum and fornix. @entity892 and @entity854 disappeared after the administration of @entity5304 . Subsequently a progressive worsening of the @entity16 developed, including a 1 1/2 syndrome of Fisher. In C.S.F. proteins ranged from 35 to 66 mg/dl, gammaglobulins from 4 to 5 per cent, cells from 2.2 to 6.8 per mm3 without abnormal cells. Rounded areas of enhancement were observed on CT scan in pons and right occipital lobe. Usual biological tests, abdominal echography and lymphography were normal. @entity204 occurred 15 months after the onset of symptoms. Neuropathological examination showed: 1) a @entity706 of probable B origin with distinct masses in right occipital lobe and pontine tegmentum and a more diffuse perivascular infiltration on the left side in the amygdaloid nucleus, fourth temporal gyrus, sublenticular area, hypothalamus and in the right internal capsule; 2) multiple small clear-cut foci of @entity17 with @entity17 bilaterally in the optic pathways, periventricular regions, corona radiata, cerebral and cerebellar white matter, sublenticular areas, temporal lobes, splenium of the corpus callosum and fornices with secondary atrophy of the mamillary bodies. Both recent and old plaques were observed. Inflammatory perivascular cuffing, when present, consisted of small nontumoral lymphocytes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
