Case Reports
A 52-Year-Old Woman With Dysarthria, Ataxia, Xanthelasmas, and Miliary Pulmonary Nodules.
A 52-year-old woman with no significant medical history was referred to our hospital for expedited workup of progressive dysarthria and ataxia over the past year. Prior CT angiography of the head and neck showed no relevant neurologic findings but did reveal miliary lesions in the lung apices, which was later confirmed via dedicated CT chest scan (Fig 1). ⋯ MRI of the face showed a 21-mm mass within the left external temporal fascia. MRI of the head showed diffuse leptomeningeal enhancement, right frontal lobe enhancement, and cerebellar and brainstem T2/fluid-attenuated inversion recovery hyperintensity, which prompted her admission to hospital.

The patient had undergone nephrectomy for a left renal tumor 24 years previously. ⋯ She complained of appetite loss a few days before admission but had no abdominal pain. CT scan showed no abnormalities in the lungs but a mass in the liver.
