Abstract

Progressive hypersomnia, memory disturbance, and vertical ophthalmoplegia developed in a 63-year-old woman. The diagnosis of Whipple's disease of the central nervous system was suggested by her presentation and results of studies using magnetic resonance imaging. Despite a one-month course of antibiotics, active Whipple's disease, localized to the central nervous system, was found at autopsy.

摘要

一名63岁女性出现进行性嗜睡、记忆障碍和垂直性眼肌麻痹。其临床表现及磁共振成像研究结果提示为中枢神经系统惠普尔病。尽管接受了为期一个月的抗生素治疗，但尸检发现仍存在局限于中枢神经系统的活动性惠普尔病。
