On presentation, a 26-year-old female with no significant past medical history presented with frequent headaches and blurry vision. There was right eye nystagmus on L lateral gaze with CN III deficits with absent medial rotation. MRI Head presented with a classic presentation of T2 hyperintensities in the subcortical and deep white matter. Further confirmed with NPO Igg antibodies. She was given a 3-day course of high dose Methylprednisolone with moderate symptom recovery.
