(2010), who reported eight patients with clinical, radiological and pathological features of brainstem involvement responsive (but dependent) to steroid treatment. All the reported patients shared common clinical and MRI findings: gait ataxia, diplopia, patchy increased T2 signal and gadolinium enhancement ...
