Abstract
A man in his 70s reported a 3-month history of unsteady gait and falls. His gait was previously normal. He had no symptoms or signs of stroke. He had a 6-year history of impaired verbal fluency and mild executive dysfunctions, consistent with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). On examination, his gait was ataxic, and he had a positive Romberg test (Panel 1 — video 1). Power was grossly intact in his lower limbs. He demonstrated mild loss of proprioception of his left big toe.
