Symptomatic Unilateral Carotid Artery Disease: An Uncommon but Reversible Cause of Corticobasal Syndrome.
Introduction: Symptomatic carotid artery disease (CAD) represents an uncommon but treatable cause of corticobasal syndrome.
Case report: We present the clinical details and successful management of a previously healthy 77-year-old patient who presented with 1-year cognitive dysfunction, alien limb syndrome, limb kinetic apraxia, and ipsilateral cortical sensory deficit, fulfilling the criteria of the diagnosis of probable corticobasal syndrome. Imaging modalities, including magnetic resonance imaging and time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography, revealed acute external borderzone infarcts of the right hemisphere due to symptomatic CAD causing near occlusion of the vessel. The patient underwent a right carotid endarterectomy, leading to a marked improvement in mobility and neuropsychological evaluation.
Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of swift diagnosis of symptomatic CAD in patients with corticobasal syndrome. Moreover, it emphasizes the efficacy of carotid endarterectomy in achieving symptom improvement in such cases.
期刊介绍:
The Neurologist publishes articles on topics of current interest to physicians treating patients with neurological diseases. The core of the journal is review articles focusing on clinically relevant issues. The journal also publishes case reports or case series which review the literature and put observations in perspective, as well as letters to the editor. Special features include the popular "10 Most Commonly Asked Questions" and the "Patient and Family Fact Sheet," a handy tear-out page that can be copied to hand out to patients and their caregivers.
