The literature has been reviewed recently and the clinical features of the syndrome seem well established.5 We have had the opportunity to study a case of this disease prior to death and were able to perform several tests of interest in the further understanding of this syndrome.CASE REPORTA 64 year old white female...Bibliography1.
