Abstract:
Common variable immunodeficiency is the most common primary immunodeficiency and rarely causes neurological manifestations since the introduction of IVIg, but here, the authors present a case of a 31-year-old Afro-Caribbean man who after short non-adherence to his immunoglobulins, develops encephalomyelitis with retinopathy. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first case presented with retinal photographs, OCT, CT, MRI and brain biopsies.
