BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke is usually based on clinical assessment, blood test results, and CT findings. Intravenous thrombolysis of stroke mimics may occur but has not been studied in detail. METHODS We determined frequency, clinical characteristics, and outcome of mimic patients versus patients with stroke treated with intravenous thrombolysis ...

Choreoacanthocytosis (ChAc) is a rare autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive onset of hyperkinetic movements and red cell acanthocytosis. The most striking clinical feature is that of the orofacial and lingual movement abnormalities leading to severe feeding difficulties. Maintenance of proper nutrition in ChAc is a challenge. We report on a case of ChAc in ...

angioedema is an asymmetric non-pitting oedema on face, lips, tongue and mucous membranes; any delay in diagnosis and treatment can be fatal. treatment with lisinopril as an angiotensin converting enzyme (ace) inhibitor, can be a reason of angioedema. here we report a case who developed oral-facial edema four years after using lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide. laryngeal oedema is a main cause of ...

angioedema secondary to c1 inhibitor deficiency has been rarely reported to be associated with systemic lupus erythematosus. a genetic defect of c1 inhibitor produces hereditary angioedema, which is usually presented with cutaneous painless edema, but edema of the genital area, gastrointestinal and laryngeal tracts have also been reported. in lupus patients, angioedema may be the result of an a...
