Abstract:
Traditionally, strokes are characterized by negative symptoms, including contralateral hemiparesis, facial paralysis, and sensory loss in the upper face and upper extremities. Strokes rarely cause movement disorders such as ballismus, a severe chorea characterized by brief, sudden dance-like movements. Early identification of non-traditional stroke symptoms and risk factors for cerebrovascular disease is vital in providing timely treatment and improving patient outcomes. Our case highlights an uncommon complication of stroke and the need to use advanced imaging modalities, including MRI, to identify brain lesions when other testing is negative. This report adds to the body of literature highlighting ballismus, a rare presentation of stroke, and the lessons learned from managing this case.
摘要:
传统上,中风的特点是阴性症状,包括对侧偏瘫,面瘫,以及上面部和上肢的感觉丧失。中风很少引起运动障碍,例如,一种以短暂为特征的严重舞蹈病,突然的舞蹈般的动作。早期识别非传统中风症状和脑血管疾病的危险因素对于提供及时治疗和改善患者预后至关重要。我们的案例突出了中风的罕见并发症和需要使用先进的成像方式,包括核磁共振,在其他检测结果为阴性时识别脑部病变。这份报告增加了突出芭蕾舞的文献,一种罕见的中风表现,以及从管理这个案子中吸取的教训。
