Abstract
Rapidly progressive neurologic symptoms can be alarming to both the patient and the clinician, given the concern for serious pathologies. In this case, a 67-year-old patient presents with painful sensorimotor symptoms that progress rapidly within days of onset. Proper localization and consideration of medical co-morbidities is essential for accurate diagnosis. This case highlights the importance of a detailed neurologic examination to aid in the localization and differential diagnosis. The case will take readers through a stepwise approach to this complex neurologic presentation, work-up and management.
