Key result
Acute transient neurological deficit presents with pseudoperipheral tongue weakness, fully resolving in ~3 hours.
Why the study?
Acute transient neurological deficits with high stroke risk require careful evaluation to guide management and prognosis.
Case Report (n=1)
Case report of a 76-year-old man presenting with pseudoperipheral tongue weakness and transient neurological deficit.
A 76-year-old man developed an acute transient neurological deficit characterised by abrupt left face and arm weakness with a complete recovery in about 3 h. The brain CT scan was negative, and the blood pressure was 160/95 mm Hg on first evaluation. The patient was admitted to the hospital in consideration of the high risk for stroke predicted by a value of 6 for the ABCD score: (1) duration of deficits longer than that of a typical TIA, which usually lasts less than 1 h; (2) motor deficits; (3) …
