Zusammenfassung:	A 29-year-old man developed vertigo, diplopia, confusion and spasticity. Brain biopsy revealed multifocal microinfarcts. Bilateral hearing loss and retinal microangiopathy were also noted. Deficits were stable years after onset. Repeated neuropsychological testing was suggestive of diffuse cerebral dysfunction, with likely prominent involvement of reciprocal diencephalic-cortical projections.
