Summary
A 14-year-old girl born in Brazil who moved to Europe at a young age presented with weakness and a dull feeling in her right hand. The symptoms had been progressive over a period of one year. Initially, she had diminished sensation of her right index finger. This gradually progressed to affect the whole of her right hand, which eventually became numb. She was right-handed and could no longer use a pen for writing. Otherwise, her history was unremarkable.
