A 57-Year-Old Man With Headache, Numbness, and Weakness.

Sam Snider1,2, Shamik Bhattacharyya1,3.   

Abstract

We present the case of a 57-year-old man with headache, numbness, and weakness. We review the differential diagnosis and discuss the relevant imaging. Once the diagnosis is evident, we review the natural history and evidence in support of each possible treatment.
