Heat stroke can cause severe neurological damage, including parkinsonism and paralysis. This case highlights persistent white matter changes and developing cerebellar atrophy after heat stroke.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Environmental Medicine
  • Neuroimaging

Background:

  • Heat stroke is a severe hyperpyretic condition with high morbidity and mortality.
  • Neurological complications of heat stroke can be diverse and sometimes irreversible.

Observation:

  • A 45-year-old woman presented with parkinsonism, cerebellar dysfunction, aphasia, and flaccid paralysis following heat stroke.
  • Initial MRI showed white matter and left striatal hyperintensities on T2-weighted images.
  • Follow-up MRI revealed progressive cerebellar atrophy over two years.

Findings:

  • Persistent white matter lesions in the cerebral hemispheres and striatum were noted.
  • Cerebellar atrophy developed and worsened over a two-year follow-up period.
  • The neurological deficits correlated with the observed neuroimaging changes.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the potential for delayed and progressive neurological damage following severe heat exposure.
  • Neuroimaging is crucial for monitoring the evolution of brain injury after heat stroke.
  • Understanding these long-term sequelae is important for patient management and prognosis.
