Acute Vertebrobasilar Territory Infarcts due to Heat Stroke
We report an unusual case of acute vertebrobasilar territory infarcts due to heat stroke. A middle-aged man developed hyperpyrexia (42.2°C) after strenuous fieldwork in a hot summer day. Next morning, he was found in altered sensorium. The brain imaging showed acute posteromedial midbrain and cerebellar infarcts. A diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke due to heat stroke was made, and the patient was put under the intensive care unit.

Analysis of Clinical Symptoms and Brain MRI of Heat Stroke: 2 Case Reports and a Literature Review
Introduction: Heat stroke is defined as high body temperature causing multiple organ failure, psychological change, seizure, and consciousness disturbance, which lead to its high mortality rate. However, the involvement of brain injury is rare, and heat-stroke has only been reported in a few case reports or case series. The purpose of this case study was to evaluate the clinical symptoms and radiological features of heat stroke. Methods: We reviewed our hospital records and previously published reports to find cases of heat stroke.

Unusual manifestation of heat stroke: Isolated trochlear nerve palsy
Heat stroke is a life-threatening disease characterized by hyperthermia and neurological dysfunction. The central nervous system is highly sensitive to hyperthermia, which causes neurological complications due to the involvement of the cerebellum, basal ganglia, anterior horn cells, and peripheral nerves. Several studies reported about clinical symptoms and brain image findings of heat stroke. Isolated cranial nerve dysfunction caused by lacunar infarction is an extremely rare condition in patient with heat stroke.

Heat Stroke Isn ’t Just a Short-Term Danger
With each summer of increased extreme heat, more people worldwide face the risks associated with heat exposure. Last year, Europe saw a record number of heat-related deaths, and even regions more used to dealing with hot weather, like South Asia, are seeing high temperatures start earlier and earlier in the season. Heat stroke—the most dangerous form of heat-related illness—is a growing threat and creates a public health quandary since there’s still no available treatment other than simply cooling victims down. What’s more, early research seems to suggest heat stroke could lead to further health con...

Athletes at risk: Knowing the dangers of heat stroke
For many young athletes, fall sports practices have already started. Whether it’s football two-a-days, soccer practices on a sweltering turf field, or cross country training in the late summer sun, the threat of heat exhaustion and heat stroke is prevalent across all sports.
It’s an important time for athletes and parents to be aware of the signs of heat illnesses, especially given that children and adolescents are more susceptible to heat stroke than adults. Younger athletes produce more heat during activity, sweat less, and adjust less rapidly to changes in environmental heat.
Certain sports also carry unique risks f...

This Is What Heat Stroke Does To Your Body
Temperatures were in the 100s when Vanessa Dunn, a 29-year-old Los Angeles-based makeup artist, was driving back home to California from Virginia last summer. After hours on the road and drinking limited water, she was struck by a severe case of dehydration and heat stroke.
”I wasn’t drinking enough water because I didn’t want to stop to pee,” she says. When she finally pulled over for the night she felt light-headed, and she couldn’t keep food down when she tried to eat. She even threw up blood.
”I was in incredible pain, and dizzy,” she says. “[I went] to the ER, turned out...

Know the signs of heat stroke and exhaustion
Heat can be deadly.As summer temperatures climb — and as climate change contributes to more 100-degree days each year — heat illnesses become a more serious risk, particularly for young children, older adults, outdoor workers, athletes and people with chronic conditions.“On any day with extreme heat, emergency rooms in Los Angeles see an additional 1,500 patients,” said Dr. David Eisenman, a professor at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health and co-leader of aresearch project to address extreme heat in Los Angeles.“We estimate that an additional 16 people die on a single day of heat in Los Angeles County,...

Exertional Heat Stroke Management Strategies in United States High School Football
Conclusion:
Preseason exertional heat stroke events, which are likely to be fatal if untreated, were reported by one fifth of all athletic trainers in high school football programs. The standard of care is (and should be) to treat proactively; therefore, treatment is not a perfect proxy for incidence. Nevertheless, there is an urgent need for improved education and awareness of exertional heat stroke in high school football. Areas of improvement include the greatly increased use of rectal thermometers and immersion in ice water.
