We present a case of acute cortical blindness in the setting of carbon monoxide poisoning that reversed with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
This case highlights the importance of pursuing workup for autoimmune epilepsy in individuals who present with medically refractory epilepsy provoked by music.
Individuals with LGI1 antibody encephalitis may present with atypical symptoms, requiring a comprehensive diagnostic work-up and vigilance by clinicians.
Diffuse corpus callosum lesions can be associated with myriad clinical syndromes and require thoughtful investigation.
