چکیده
a novel type of brainstem-predominant encephalomyelitis was first described as chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids (clippers) in 2010 by pittocket al and then few additional patients were reported. here we report a 50-year-old iranian male who presented with a number of clinical features described as typical for clippers. the association of typical clinical presentation and typical mr imaging could be sufficient for a reliable diagnosis of clippers.
