Clinical Reasoning: A 67-Year-Old Man With Multiple Intracranial Lesions.

A wide variety of diseases present with intracranial lesions. In this case report, a 67-year-old man initially presented to an outside hospital with nausea, headache, and ataxia and was found to have multiple intracranial lesions. Diagnostic workup was ultimately unrevealing, and his condition improved after a course of steroids and antibiotics. Unfortunately, symptoms returned 3 months later. MRI of the brain revealed progression of his intracranial lesions. This case highlights a diagnostic approach and general management strategy for patients presenting with undifferentiated intracranial pathology. A final diagnosis is ultimately reached and raises further discussion.
