Significant findings on physical examination included chronic hemiatrophy involving his entire left face, as well as a Babinski sign on the right. Sensation to temperature and vibration was diminished on the right upper and lower extremities. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging demonstrated thinning of the skin overlying the left frontal bone with irregularity of the left frontal bone, as well as diffuse white matter disease involving the left parietal, frontal, and temporal lobes, and the corpus callosum. Punctate microhemorrhages were demonstrated in the left parietal and occipital white matter, and in the left thalamus. The patient’s symptoms resolved spontaneously, and the patient was discharged from the hospital 2 days after admission.</p>Monday, 07 Feb 2011 16:07:30 GMT
