A 65 year old man developed progressive signs of pontine and medullary dysfunction with striking bilateral paralysis of lateral gaze, dysarthria, dysphagia, and ataxia. A respiratory death occurred seven months from the onset. Pathological examination revealed focal brain-stem changes of perivascular lymphocytic cuffing, microglial infiltration, glial nodules, and neuronophagia. No underlying malignancy or general disease impairing immunity mechanisms was discovered.
