A new CLIPPERS case has just been reported in East Asia in the first CLIPPERS-related journal article I've seen for a while. You can read the full paper here.
In brief though, it describes a 54 year-old woman with what sound like fairly typical symptoms of CLIPPERS (diplopia, paresthesia, gait disturbance) backed up by bright lesions towards the back and base of the brain visible in MRI. The authors are particularly keen to discuss possible allergy-based triggers for CLIPPERS. I have a history of mild allergies (occasional asthma, eczema etc) but wouldn't want to read too much into it at this stage. I'm trying to find out whether my "serum IgE" was elevated, as has been noted for several CLIPPERS patients, and will report back here
