Summary
A 23-year-old right-handed woman presented with a one-year history of unsteadiness and a six-month history of urinary and bowel urgency with incontinence. Four weeks before hospital admission, she also had a change in the vision from her right eye, only seeing the periphery of the visual field. Three weeks prior to hospital admission, she had right-hand numbness and weakness and was admitted to hospital when she developed left-leg weakness and numbness.
