    Recurrent expressive dysphasia attacks may signal brain tumors, not just vascular events. Early computed tomography scans are crucial for diagnosing and treating potential cerebral neoplasms.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neuro-oncology

    Background:

    • Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) are often suspected in patients presenting with recurrent neurological deficits.
    • Expressive dysphasia, a language disorder, can manifest transiently, complicating differential diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • A 56-year-old woman experienced 2 years of recurrent expressive dysphasia episodes that mimicked TIAs.
    • Cerebral neoplasm was identified as the underlying cause of her symptoms.

    Findings:

    • Recurrent paroxysmal neurological deficits, including expressive dysphasia, are not exclusively indicative of vascular etiologies.
    • Cerebral neoplasms can present with transient neurological symptoms mimicking other conditions.

    Implications:

    • Neurological deficits suggestive of TIAs warrant comprehensive investigation beyond vascular assessments.

  • Computed tomography (CT) is recommended as a key diagnostic tool to rule out treatable cerebral neoplasms in such cases.
