We report a 64-year-old man with recurrent bouts of blurred vision who died after developing an abdominal mass. He was well until June of 1985 when he was 59-years-old when he had an acute onset of loss of vision in his right eye. He was treated by prednisolone with a complete remission. ⋯ In March of 1991, he developed anemia and liver dysfunction. In July of that year, jaundice appeared, and his serum bilirubin was increased. In October, his leg weakness became more prominent, and his cranial CT scans at that time revealed a low density change in the right cerebellum in the right superior cerebellar artery territory; in addition, multiple low density spots were scattered to be seen in both cerebral hemispheres including the basal ganglia and thalamic areas with ventricular dilatation and cortical atrophy.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
