dysphagia in acute ischemic stroke
Introduction: Swallowing dysfunction complicates acute strokes in 25-32% of cases and directly affects patientschr('39') prognosis and recovery. Dysphagia complicates the course of acute strokes through its potential of the development of chest infection, nutritional problems, and dehydration. Dysphagia is also an independent predictor of respiratory morbidity and mortality in acute stroke. In...
متن کاملMRI of Metronidazole-Induced Encephalopathy
We report the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of metronidazole-induced encephalopathy in a 58-year-old man who was treated with metronidazole for hepatic encephalopathy. MRI is likely to be helpful in confirming the diagnosis of metronidazole toxicity in clinically suspected cases.

well-tolerated antiprotozoal and antibacterial agent. Occasionally, it can manifest adverse neurologic effects. Variable brain magnetic resonance (MR) imaging abnormalities that are a feature of metronidazole-induced encephalopathy (MIE) have been identified in the cerebellar dentate nucleus, inferior colliculus, midbrain, basal ganglia, corpus callosum, or subcortical white matter.1,2 Although...
متن کاملWernicke's Encephalopathy Mimicking Acute Onset Stroke Diagnosed by CT Perfusion
Background. Metabolic syndromes such as Wernicke's encephalopathy may present with a sudden neurological deficit, thus mimicking acute onset stroke. Due to current emphasis on rapid admission and treatment of acute stroke patients, there is a significant risk that these stroke mimics may end up being treated with thrombolysis. Rigorous clinical and radiological skills are necessary to correctly...
متن کاملO10: Thrombo-Inflammation in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Ischemic stroke has been classified as a merely thrombotic disease, so the main goal of its treatment is the recanalization of the occluded vasculature. However, despite fast restoration of blood circulation, progressive stroke still develops in many patients, which has led to the concept of reperfusion injury. The underlying mechanism is only partly known. Though, it is accepted now, tha...
