Abstract: An 83‐year‐old white woman sought medical attention because of a three‐day history of slurred speech and an episode of syncope. Her medical history included long‐standing rheumatoid arthritis treated with prednisone for the past five years (60 mg/day at presentation). In addition, cyclosporin (200 mg/day) had been started 16 months earlier for necrotizing scleritis.
