ABSTRACT
Chronic Lymphocytic Inflammation with Pontine Perivascular Enhancement Responsive to Steroids (CLIPPERS) is a rare central nervous system inflammatory condition usually presenting with a range of symptoms, including ataxia, diplopia, dysarthria, seizures, and headaches. We present a unique case of a 22-year-old woman exhibiting headache as the sole symptom. Imaging and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis, and initial steroid treatment provided relief, though it relapsed on tapering. Long-term management with low-dose steroids and mycophenolate mofetil achieved remission. This case highlights the importance of recognizing atypical presentations of CLIPPERS, emphasizing the need for prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment plans to improve patient outcomes. Further research is necessary to enhance our understanding and management of CLIPPERS.
