[Non-paraneoplastic polioencephalomyelitis].
A 60-year-old male presented with cerebellar ataxia and ocular flutter which disappeared after ten months of evolution. The patient later had three other different bouts which caused cerebral, brainstem and polyradiculoneuritis-like symptomatology. The disease evolved in 20 months and at necropsy a primary polioencephalomyelitis was found. The remitting and relapsing course of the disease is better explained by an autoimmune-mediated lesion.
