A rare reversible ischemic neurologic deficit (RIND) occurred in a patient post-electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Neurologic deficits resolved within 3 days, highlighting the importance of prompt recognition and stroke management.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a treatment for severe depression.
  • Hypertension and depression are common comorbidities.

Observation:

  • A 58-year-old woman experienced aphasia and right-sided hemiparesis after right unilateral ECT.
  • Neurologic deficits resolved within 3 days, indicating a reversible ischemic neurologic deficit (RIND).

Findings:

  • Cerebrovascular events associated with ECT are exceptionally rare.
  • Improved patient screening and procedural safety measures may contribute to a declining frequency of RIND post-ECT.

Implications:

  • Prompt recognition of RIND is crucial for preventing complications like cerebral edema and seizures.
