OBJECTIVE
A 64-year-old man with acute onset neck pain was referred to physical therapy by a neurosurgeon. The purpose of this case study is to examine the process of differential diagnosis in a patient with neck pain and to discuss common diagnostic errors that can occur in the outpatient
BACKGROUND
Patients with Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) are always anomaly associated with vertebrobasilar dysplasia. That may present commonly as infarction of brainstem, medulla, and cerebellum. In this article, we reported a rare case of lateral medullary infarction (LMI) with similar features of
OBJECTIVE
To describe sex differences in symptom presentation after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) while controlling for differences in age and other potentially confounding factors.
BACKGROUND
Although several studies have examined sex differences in diagnosis, management, and survival after
Many studies have reported spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH). Although most cases are idiopathic, several are associated with thrombolytic therapy or anticoagulants. We report a case of SSEH coincident with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), which caused serious neurological deficits. A 56
Medullary infarct is still little known influencing the short-term vital and functional prognosis of patients. Medullary vascularization is one of the most complex in the body due to the significant number of arteries that contribute to it. Our knowledge is still limited due to the scarcity of
Spinal cord infarction (SCI) is rarely caused by vertebral artery dissection (VAD), which is an important cause of posterior circulation stroke in young and middle-aged patients. We report the case of a middle-aged patient without obvious risk factors for atherosclerosis who had SCI We report a patient who had headache and neck pain after whiplash injury and subsequently developed cerebellar infarction due to vertebral artery dissection. This patient's pain was out of proportion to his apparent injury and it was a clue to the final diagnosis. Gross motor examination for cord
OBJECTIVE
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) leads to death if the patient does not receive emergency treatment. Thus it is very important to recognize the symptoms in the early stage. The purpose of this study was to identify clusters of symptoms that represent AMI in Koreans.

A 63-year-old man was admitted because of sudden transient consciousness disturbance and left-side hemiparesis 110 minutes after the onset. Typical symptoms of aortic dissection, such as chest pain, back pain, neck pain, laterality of blood pressure or hypotension were not found. Brain magnetic
Cervical cord infarction is uncommon but has been increasingly reported as a complication of vertebral artery dissection (VAD). A 54-year-old woman presented with neck pain and neurological deficit following sudden neck movement. Radiological findings suggested cervical cord infarction in the
A 67-year woman with hypertension rapidly noted weakness of the right upper and lower extremities with posterior cervical pain. At admission to our hospital, she showed right hemiparesis without facial palsy, and bilateral pathological reflex. Chest X-ray demonstrated enlargement of the mediastinal
BACKGROUND
Subclavian artery dissection is a rare entity. It is usually associated with anomalous aortic vasculature. Only with trauma or catheterization procedures is subclavian artery dissection with normal aortic vasculature reported.
METHODS
We describe a patient with intrascapular pain, an
OBJECTIVE
Spinal cord infarction (SCI) is a rare complication of vertebral artery dissection (VAD). Its clinical features and outcomes have not yet been well documented.
METHODS
In addition to reporting a case with bilateral SCI caused by left VAD, we performed a systematic review of the literature
OBJECTIVE
Hyperdensity in the basal cisterns on computed tomography (CT) brain scan is a diagnostic feature in subarachnoid hemorrhage. However, false enhancement of the subarachnoid space on CT scan may be seen in diffuse neurological conditions with acute presentation. This is the first reported
BACKGROUND
Multivessel cervical dissection with cortical sparing is exceptional in clinical practice.
METHODS
A 55-year-old man presented with acute-onset neck pain with associated sudden onset right-sided hemiparesis and dysphasia after chiropractic manipulation for chronic neck
