Furthermore, it is a treatable disease.

Rigid Spine Syndrome among Children in Oman.

Progressive neuropsychiatric symptoms and motor impairment.

A 42-year-old white man presented with cognitive impairment and behavioral changes followed by rapidly progressive motor and gait impairment. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed striking multifocal white matter signal change, areas of restricted diffusion, diffuse callosal signal change, and atrophy and hyperintensity of the corticospinal tracts. A broad range of etiologies warrant consideration in this case, including degenerative, vascular, inflammatory, metabolic, and neoplastic diseases.

We report a 49-year-old man with a background history of sarcoidosis who presented with nausea and vomiting. Imaging showed generalised leptomeningeal and subependymal enhancement suggestive of chronic meningitis.
