Abstract

Limb shaking is involuntary, rhythmical or dysrhythmical, transient, and usually coarse trembling or shaking of upper or lower extremities.Described in this report is a 47-year-old male patient who presented with sudden onset left-sided paresthesias and weakness. He had asimilar episode with shaking movements of left arm followed by transient weakness and paresthesias 1 month before presentation. He hadmultiple acute and subacute infarctions on cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cerebral digital subtraction angiography (DSA) revealed calibration changes and irregularity of the right internal carotid artery compatible with dissection and oral anticoagulant therapy wasadministered. The patient was followed for 6 months under effective oral anticoagulant therapy without appearance of any new symptoms.Limb shaking is a symptom of carotid artery disease (CAD) that can lead to severe cerebral infarction. It is important to recognize this unusualsymptom in order to begin appropriate treatment of the ischemic event.

Özet

‘Limb Shaking’ üst veya alt ekstremitelerin, istemsiz, ritmik veya disritmik, geçici ve genelde kaba olan titreme hareketidir. Burada ani başlangıçlı sol taraflı uyuşma ve güçsüzlük yakınması ile başvuran; öyküsünde bir ay öncesinde de sol kolunda titreme hareketi sonrasında gelişen benzer bir geçici atağı olan 47 yaşında bir erkek hasta sunulacaktır. Kraniyal manyetik rezonans görüntülemesinde multipl akut ve subakut enfarktları saptanan hastanın serebral anjiyografisinde karotis arter diseksiyonu saptanmış olup oral antikoagülan tedavi ile takibe alınmış ve altı aylık izlemde yeni yakınma gözlenmemiştir. ‘Limb shaking’ karotis arter hastalığının bir belirtisi olup ciddi enfarktlar ile sonuçlanabilmektedir. Nadir karşılaşılan bu semptomun tanınması, vasküler olaya uygun tedavi başlanması açısından önem taşımaktadır.
