Summary
A 54-year-old man and taxi driver developed progressive loss of vision over four months. Initially it was thought that he had toxic amblyopia as he drank 14–25 pints of beer per week. He did not smoke cigarettes. However, the diagnosis was revised as a family history of a neurological condition emerged.
