Good response to rituximab in chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids presenting as tumor ‐like infratentorial lesion

The efficacy of rituximab in the treatment of CLIPPERS syndrome supports the role of B  cells as important regulators of T-cell activity.
