Case Report.
OBJECTIVE
Stroke is the most common cause of long-term disability. Dysesthesia, an unpleasant sensory disturbance, is common following thalamic stroke and evidence-based interventions for this impairment are limited. The purpose of this case report was to describe a decrease in
This study investigated the relationship between dysgeusia and dysesthesia in stroke patients and evaluated the effect of carbamazepine therapy. Twenty-four patients with dysesthesia of the face, oral cavity, or tongue were divided into two groups: with and without subjective dysgeusia. Taste
Twenty patients were studied who developed central poststroke pain or paresthesia after lenticulocapsular hemorrhage. Pain or paresthesia occurred 0 to 24 months after the onset, more prominently in the leg than other body parts. The symptoms were described as numb, cold, burning, aching, swollen,
Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) accompanied by nonfocal symptoms are associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events, in particular cardiac events. Reported frequencies of TIAs accompanied by nonfocal symptoms range from 18 to 53%. We assessed the occurrence of nonfocal symptoms in patients
We report 13 patients presenting with predominantly sensory strokes due to brainstem infarction, without any other brainstem symptoms such as hemiparesis, dysarthria or vertigo. All of them had lacunar infarctions localized at the medial lemniscus and/or spinothalamic tract, at the pontine (12
A 7-year-old male presented sudden-onset left hemiparesis, left-sided paresthesia, central paralysis of the left VII cranial nerve, and subsequent headache. Magnetic resonance scans were obtained 24 hours after admission. T(2)-weighted images disclosed hyperintensities located mainly in the
OBJECTIVE
To report the first case of stroke in a patient with relentless placoid chorioretinitis.
METHODS
Observational case report.
RESULTS
A 20-year-old female with newly diagnosed relentless placoid chorioretinitis was urgently evaluated for unilateral paresthesias. She was found to have acute
Clinical-radiologic correlations in 27 patients with pure sensory strokes (PSS) were retrospectively studied. Dysesthesias from pontine lesions were more severe than those from thalamic lesions. Pontine PSS but not thalamic PSS selectively affected vibration and position sense, leaving pinprick and
OBJECTIVE
The role of emergency physicians in trials of acute stroke therapy is expanding. We investigated the ability of emergency physicians to accurately identify patients with stroke.
METHODS
We reviewed all 446 patients who were evaluated in the emergency department and had an inpatient
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a frequent condition which carries a significant risk for stroke when associated with deep venous thrombosis and primary or secondary coagulation abnormalities. Here, we describe a patient in which scuba diving is thought to be associated with stroke in a subject with
BACKGROUND
Many patients with stroke-mimicking conditions receive treatment with intravenous fibrinolysis (IVF), a treatment associated with potentially serious complications. We sought to determine if any clinical or radiographic characteristics can help predict stroke mimics among IVF
We investigated the mental health of 47 subjects (30 men, mean age 63.8+/-7.7; 17 women, mean age 68.9+/-8.7) with the 60-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). All the subjects lived at home in a Japanese rural community and were examined from 2 to 3 years after suffering a stroke. Among the
OBJECTIVE
Bow hunter's stroke is a consequence of vertebrobasilar insufficiency as a result of mechanical occlusion or stenosis of the vertebral artery at the C1-C2 level by head rotation. In most cases, a dominant vertebral artery is involved. No case of bow hunter's stroke as a result of
Lead wire malposition is thought to be a rare complication of both permanent and temporary pacemaker implantation. The actual incidence and prevalence are unknown because of lack of reporting, which complicates consistency in treatment. Potential safeguards to prevent complications as a result of
BACKGROUND
We report three patients with ischemic stroke as initial manifestation of left atrial myxomas.
