Summary

Cheiro-oral syndrome, a rare neurological condition, can result from parietal lobe infarction. This case study details a 45-year-old woman experiencing this rare syndrome due to parietal infarction, highlighting sensory disturbances.

Area of Science:

Neurology
Neuroscience
Medical Case Reports

Background:

Cheiro-oral syndrome is a rare neurological condition characterized by sensory disturbances affecting the hand and face.
Parietal lesions, including infarction, are known causes, but parietal infarction-induced cheiro-oral syndrome is exceptionally rare, with only six prior reports.
Understanding the pathogenesis of this specific syndrome is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Observation:

A 45-year-old woman presented with symptoms consistent with cheiro-oral syndrome.
The patient exhibited sensory disturbances primarily affecting the left lower face and hand.
Specific neurological deficits included severe impairment of stereognosis and graphesthesia in the left hand.

Findings:

The patient's cheiro-oral syndrome was definitively linked to a parietal infarction.
The case contributes to the limited documented evidence of cheiro-oral syndrome arising from parietal infarction.
Detailed sensory deficits provide insights into the functional neuroanatomy of the parietal lobe.

Implications:

This case expands the understanding of the clinical manifestations of parietal lobe infarction.
It underscores the importance of considering parietal infarction in the differential diagnosis of cheiro-oral syndrome.
Further research into the pathogenesis may lead to improved diagnostic criteria and targeted therapies.
