Abstract

In this paper we report the case of a 52-year-old woman with multiple contrast enhancing lesions associated with a chronic lymphocytic inflammation of the infratentorial structures. We discuss the symptoms, imaging and treatment of this rare disorder, in which magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has a crucial role in the diagnosis. Early recognition on MRI and radiological follow-up are also important to optimize the treatment.
