Abstract: | We describe a patient with recurrent brainstem symptoms and migraine-like headache. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a symptomatic hyperintense T2-weighted lesion in the middle cerebellar peduncle and the trigeminal nuclei and an asymptomatic periventricular lesion of Dawson finger shape. The findings were suspicious for a first demyelinating event, possibly representing the first manifestation of multiple sclerosis (MS). Nevertheless, this case report also illustrates several pitfalls in the differential diagnosis of MS. |
