Abstract:
Heat stroke rarely develops permanent neurologic deficits. We present two patients (patients 1 and 2) who suffered from persistent neurologic deficits 3 years after heat stroke. Both patients have cerebellar dysfunction. In addition to cerebellar dysfunction, the first patient whose CT scan of brain demonstrates cerebellar atrophy, also has signs of transverse myelopathy of thoracic cord. We conclude the cerebellar symptoms are common neurologic complication of heat stroke and the heat stroke may be one of rare causes of the transverse myelopathy.
