Abstract:

Ataxia was the only presenting symptom of a large pontine melanoma secondary in a 63 year-old male after five years of follow-up. Although the brain is a common site for melanoma metastasis, brainstem involvement is uncommon and its presentation with ataxia and no cranial nerve palsies is unusual.
