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.

Özet

Anamnez, hastaların tanısında en az fizik muayene kadar önemlidir. İnmeli hastaların yaklaşık olarak %35’inde görülen klonus bulgusu erken dönemde ortaya çıkabilir. Olgumuzda araç kullanamama yakınması ile kliniğimize başvuran, fizik muayenesinde aşil klonus tespiti ile akut inme tanısı konulan 53 yaşında erkek hastayı sunduk.
