ABSTRACT

A male of 32 years, without any previous diagnosed disease, asked for attention at the Emergency Room because of headache. In addition, he had visual aura, numbness of both arms, and a cerebrospinal fluid analysis that showed: intracranial hypertension and lymphocytic pleocystosis. Additional studies were performed in order to exclude: structural, vascular, inflammatory, infectious causes. He received symptomatic treatment, showing clinical and cerebrospinal fluid analysis showing resolution. Therefore, in retrospective HaNDL syndrome is diagnosed.
This entity is uncommon or underdiagnosed, meanwhile, it has a good prognosis in comparison with its differential diagnosis. An appropriate comprehension and identification of it would avoid iatrogenic lesions.
