Neurologically presenting Whipple’s Disease – a Case Report and Review of the Literature
Abstract
A previously healthy male with subacute onset right leg weakness is suspected to have an astrocytoma after a lesion is demonstrated via imaging. However a subsequent biopsy demonstrated the presence of foamy macrophages containing periodic acid-Schiff staining granules, suggesting Whipple’s disease as a possible diagnosis. We here present the case and the report on the patient’s current clinical status.
