Abstract
A woman in her fifties developed gradually increasing unsteadiness and weakness in her legs. Clinical investigation raised suspicion of an immunological disorder. However, immunomodulatory therapy had no effect. Further investigation two and a half years after the initial contact with a doctor revealed another diagnosis, which led to a change in treatment strategy.
