Abstract

Anamnesis is as important as physical examination in the diagnosis of patients. Clonus finding may occur in approximately 35% of stroke patiens in early period. We presented a 53-year-old male with achill clonus on physical examination and diagnosed as an acute stroke.

Olgumuzda araç kullanamama yakınması ile kliniğimize başvuran, fizik muayenesinde aşil klonus tespiti ile akut inme tanısı konulan 53 yaşında erkek hastayı sunduk.
