Ictal hemiparesis.

M Globus, E Lavi, A Fich

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Recurrent transient hemiparesis in adults can be misdiagnosed as transient ischemic attacks. These episodes may actually stem from inhibitory fits affecting specific brain areas.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Clinical Neuroscience
    • Epileptology

    Background:

    • Transient hemiparesis is a neurological deficit characterized by temporary weakness on one side of the body.
    • Distinguishing between transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) and other causes of hemiparesis is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

    Observation:

    • Two adult cases of ictal hemiparesis presenting with recurrent, transient unilateral weakness were observed.
    • Clinical presentation included focal hemispheric electroencephalogram (EEG) discharges contralateral to the hemiparesis.

    Findings:

    • The etiology appears linked to stimulation of the second somatosensory and/or supplementary motor areas.
    • These findings suggest that inhibitory fits, rather than vascular events, can manifest as transient hemiparesis.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the potential for misdiagnosis of transient hemiparesis in adults.
    • Emphasizes the need to consider non-vascular, potentially epileptic etiologies in cases of recurrent transient hemiparesis.
    • Suggests specific brain regions (somatosensory, motor areas) as potential sources of these inhibitory phenomena.
