Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPlatypnoea orthodeoxia syndrome is a rare condition, which can be present in patients with patent foramen ovale (PFO). In this case, a 72-year-old lady presented to the emergency department with a cryptogenic stroke associated with right thalamic infarct.

The clinical presentation of bilateral medial medullary stroke is heterogenous and often overlaps with other non-stroke neurology emergencies such as Guillain-Barrésyndrome, myasthenic crisis and acute vestibular syndrome, leading to misdiagnosis. We wish to present a case of a young lady with type 1 diabetes mellitus, who had presented with subacute neuromuscular weakness which was erroneously treated as myasthenic crisis. Her case was subsequently diagnosed as bilateral med...
