Internal carotid artery occlusion related to poorly controlled rheumatoid arthritis presenting with continuous hand shaking: A case report and literature review
Rationale: Limb-shaking syndrome is a special manifestation of transient ischemic attack, resulting from internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion. Extra-articular manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are likely to occur in patients with severe or active RA. RA may accelerate atherosclerotic processes through inflammation. Here, we present a case of ICA occlusion related to poorly controlled RA that presented with continuous hand shaking.

Atypical presentation of giant cell arteritis in a patient with vertebrobasilar stroke: A case report
Rationale: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is known to present with typical manifestations like temporal headache and visual abnormalities. However, several cases with atypical manifestations were reported. Stroke occurs in 3% to 7% of patients with GCA. Patient concerns: A 67-year-old male patient with known hypertension presented with somnolence, disorientation and mild bilateral limb ataxia. The magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple acute infarctions in the territory of the vertebrobasilar system with occlusion of the left vertebral artery. Diagnosis: Ten months later, during a routine neurovascular follow-up, r...
