Diagnostic dilemma: Weakness in a man's leg revealed his abnormally small brain

73% Informative
A 44-year-old man in France had mild weakness in his left leg for two weeks prior to going to the doctor.
Doctors found he had a large buildup of fluid in his brain, which allowed little room for tissue.
This left the patient with just a thin sheet of brain tissue pushed up against his skull.
The man's IQ was 75 , below the average score of 100 .
Doctors drained the excess fluid from the man's skull, which helped the patient regain some of his leg strength.
