A 29-year-old man developed vertigo, diplopia, confusion, and spasticity. Brain biopsy revealed multifocal microinfarcts. Bilateral hearing loss and retinal microangiopathy were also noted. Deficits were stable 2 years after onset. Repeated neuropsychological testing was suggestive of diffuse cerebral dysfunction, with likely prominent involvement of reciprocal diencephalic-cortical projections.
