Limb Shaking Transient Ischemic Attacks with Normal Neurovascular Ultrasound may Herald Cardioembolic Stroke: ACase Report

We describe a 74 year-old woman with abrupt left arm jerking and normal urgent computed tomography scan, electroencephalography (EEG) as well as carotid and transcranial ultrasound. Two days later she developed an overt ischemic stroke, with left mesencephalon and left cerebellar hemisphere lesions at brain magnetic resonance imaging and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation at Holter-EKG.
