Crescendo transient Aura attacks: a transient ischemic attack mimic caused by focal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diagnosis of transient ischemic attack can be difficult because many mimics exist. We report the clinical and neuroimaging features of a distinct hemorrhagic transient ischemic attack mimic. METHODS Case series. RESULTS We describe 4 elderly patients presenting with a cluster of stereotyped somatosensory migraine auras, initially referred for "crescendo transient isch...
متن کاملFocal subarachnoid haemorrhage mimicking transient ischaemic attack - do we really need MRI in the acute stage?
BACKGROUND Acute non-traumatic focal subarachnoid haemorrhage (fSAH) is a rare transient ischaemic attack (TIA)-mimic. MRI is considered to be indispensable by some authors in order to avoid misdiagnosis, and subsequent improper therapy. We therefore evaluated the role of CT and MRI in the diagnosis of fSAH patients by comparing our cases to those from the literature. METHODS From 01/2010 to ...
متن کاملCortical Vein Thrombosis as a Mimic for Isolated Cortical Subarachnoid Hemorrhage and Transient Ischemic Attack
Isolated cortical subarachnoid hemorrhage is rare and poorly understood. Differential diagnoses and proposed pathophysiology vary widely and the diagnostic work-up for these patients who present with transient ischemic attack-like episodes and characteristic imaging findings is still unclear. We report a case of isolated subarachnoid hemorrhage and transient neurologic deficits due to isolated ...
متن کاملSpontaneous spinal epidural hematoma mimicking transient ischemic attack
RATIONALE Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) is a rare but highly disabling neurological emergency. The initial presentations are variable. Most patients of SSEH present with paraplegia or tetraplegia clinically, but recurrent hemiparesis with complete spontaneous recovery, mimicking transient ischemic attack (TIA), is a very rare initial presentation of SSEH. PATIENT CONCERNS A 71-y...
متن کاملdifferentiation of true transient ischemic attack versus transient ischemic attack mimics.
background: previous literatures have shown a transient ischemic attack (tia) mimic rate of 9-31%. we aimed to ascertain the proportion of stroke mimics amongst suspected tia patients. methods: a prospective observational study was performed in ghaem hospital, mashhad, iran during 2012-2013. consecutive tia patients were identified in a stroke center. the initial diagnosis of ...
