Transient ischemic attack caused by cerebral ergotism.
Association of protease inhibitors and ergotamine causing systemic ergotism is well established1,2,3. Cerebral ergotism is poorly reported4,5. We describe the case of an HIV positive 49 yo man under protease inhibitors (ritonavir) presenting with total reversible left hemiparesis after the intake of 3 g of ergotamine. After 20 minutes he was spontaneously asymptomatic. TIA was diagnosed. Parenc...
متن کاملCerebral ischemic attack caused by postprandial hypotension.
BACKGROUND Food ingestion sometimes induces systemic hypotension (postprandial hypotension). Although the possibility of stroke occurring postprandially has been suggested, no cases have been reported until now. CASE DESCRIPTION A 78-year-old man experienced repeated transient ischemic attacks after almost every ingestion of food and showed orthostatic and postprandial hypotension. An angiogr...
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 ...
متن کاملCrescendo 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 کاملCerebral microbleeds and early recurrent stroke after transient ischemic attack: results from the Korean Transient Ischemic Attack Expression Registry.
IMPORTANCE The risk of early recurrent stroke after transient ischemic attack (TIA) may be modifiable by optimal treatment. Although ABCD2 scores, diffusion-weighted imaging lesions, and large artery stenosis are well known to predict early stroke recurrence, other neuroimaging parameters, such as cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), have not been well explored in patients with TIA. OBJECTIVE To dete...
