Limb-shaking transient ischemic attack responsive to nimodipine: A case report
Limb-shaking transient ischemic attack (TIA), a rare manifestation, is commonly caused by severe stenosis or occlusion of an extracranial internal carotid artery. Such patients are usually treated with surgical revascularization or anti-platelet therapy. We present a 56-year-old woman with 6 months’ episodic attacks starting with mouth skewed to the right and a sensation of ‘weakness’ involving...
متن کاملVasomotor reactivity is exhausted in transient ischaemic attacks with limb shaking.
OBJECTIVES To investigate cerebral vasomotor reactivity in five patients with limb shaking transient ischaemic attacks by using transcranial Doppler sonography. METHOD Attacks with transient limb shaking were unilateral in four patients and bilateral in one. Internal carotid arteries on the side opposite the abnormal limb movements showed three 90-95% stenoses and three occlusions as assessed...
متن کاملPerfusion insufficiency in limb-shaking transient ischemic attacks.
We describe a 63-year-old man with severe bilateral internal carotid artery disease who presented with repeated, brief attacks of left limb shaking precipitated by his standing up. Cerebral blood flow measured by xenon-133 inhalation showed reduced resting flows and a focal perfusion deficit in the right dorsofrontal and upper rolandic regions. Blood flow velocity and pulsatility index of the r...
متن کاملCerebral Hemodynamic Failure Presenting as Limb-Shaking Transient Ischemic Attacks
Limb-shaking transient ischemic attacks (TIA) may occur in patients with insufficient brain perfusion due to an underlying occlusive disease. We present the case of a 64-year-old patient who suffered from repetitive TIA presenting with shaking movements of the right-sided extremities and accompanying speech arrest. Symptoms are documented in the online supplementary video (www.karger.com/doi/10...
متن کاملLimb-Shaking Transient Ischemic Attacks Successfully Treated with External Carotid Artery Stenting
The external carotid artery (ECA) is one of the most important extracranial-to-intracranial sources of collateral circulation, contributing significantly to the cerebral blood flow especially when perfusion through the internal carotid artery (ICA) is compromised. Most of the endovascular studies so far have been dedicated to ICA, with little focus on the ECA. Limb-shaking transient ischemic at...
متن کاملInternal Carotid Artery Stenosis Presenting with Limb Shaking TIA
Internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis may lead to a wide range of clinical symptoms. We describe the case of a 66-year-old female who experienced a transient ischemic attack (TIA) with episodes of limb shaking caused by ICA stenosis. After epilepsy had been suspected and ruled out, studies of her left ICA showed extensive blockage as a result of atherosclerosis. Magnetic resonance angiography ...
