Abstract
John is a 12-year-old otherwise healthy white male who is brought in by his mother. She is concerned with a history of intermittent changes in his vision as well as complaints that he is often fatigued, complaining of neck stiffness, poor sleep, and irritability. She has been going through a divorce and is concerned he is making this up to get attention.
