Abstract

A 51-year-old man presented with mild headache followed by sudden onset of right sided weakness and dysarthria on the background of one week history of right sided sciatica and malaise. He was apparently immunocompetent with only past medical history being hypertension. There was no consumption of tobacco or excess alcohol and he previously had normal liver and renal function.
