• Focal Neurological Deficit

  The patient was too irritable to tolerate hyperbaric oxygen therapy, but nevertheless, his focal neurologic deficits resolved the following day. [pulmonologyadvisor.com]

  The most common neurologic symptoms reported were focal neurologic deficits, coma, seizures, encephalopathy, and headache. [hindawi.com]

  The patient in this case report did not exhibit any focal neurologic deficits, but emergent CT of the brain was indicated to rule out a hemorrhagic event. [mdedge.com]

  The patient came to the emergency department due to left-hemisphere focal neurological deficits with unknown time of onset. He was last seen to be asymptomatic at 9.30. [elsevier.es]

  A TIA is a focal neurological deficit that lasts less than 24 hours and resolves. The mechanism of TIAs is uncertain. [neuropathology-web.org]

• Stupor

  Forty-eight hours after severe trauma to her legs the patient became stuporous and her right arm weak. A computerized tomography scan showed diffuse brain swelling. [cmaj.ca]

  Cerebral manifestations of fat embolism syndrome can be highly variable and non-specific: the symptoms spectrum includes headache, lethargy, irritability, delirium, stupor, convulsions, or coma. Most cases can occur as subclinical events. [radiopaedia.org]

  10,11 If fat is predominantly involved, the FES develops. 11–13 Pulmonary manifestations vary from mild hypoxemia to florid pulmonary edema. 14 Neurologic abnormalities are present in up to 80% of patients with FES and range from mild disorientation to stupor [anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]

• Abnormal Reflex

  The abnormal reflex has been attributed to disturbance of baroreceptor function 4 and also to degeneration of the medulla. 5 CSS has overlap with VVS (Figure 2). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Workup failed to detect causes of the embolism other than dissemination from the placental hemangioma. The fetal heart rate tracing was reassuring a few days after the cerebral embolism. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In the workup of a patient with a known murmur and stroke symptoms, paradoxical cerebral embolism should be included in the differential. [experts.umn.edu]

This distinction is important as it provides valuable information on the potential etiology of stroke and can help guide the diagnostic workup and management of a patient. [casemed.case.edu]

We discuss the utility of intraoperative EEG monitoring in the detection and treatment of cerebral embolism. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

By combining these two methods (tPA and intravascular treatment), the treatment becomes much more effective. Recent studies show that this is the case. Treatments using only tPA and treatments using tPA in conjunction with intravascular treatments. [nhk.or.jp]

In most cases, however, it is difficult to establish a firm etiological association and the debate about management is ongoing. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, valvular heart disease, mitral annulus calcification, and cardiomyopathy were the commonest etiologies. [ahajournals.org]
