ABSTRACT

Introducción: El síndrome de limb-shaking o sacudida de extremidades como presentación de un ataque isquémico transitorio es raro y suele asociarse con estenosis de las arterias carótidas internas. El principal diagnóstico diferencial es con crisis convulsivas. Presentación del caso: presentamos el caso de un paciente con estenosis carotídea intracraneal bilateral que cursó con sacudidas en extremidades y tuvo mejoría clínica satisfactoria tras un procedimiento con stent.


Limb-shaking syndrome or involuntary shaking movements of the affected limbs as a manifestation of a transient ischemic attack is rare and often is associated with internal carotid artery stenosis. The main differential diagnosis is a convulsive seizure. We present the case of a patient with bilateral intracranial carotid artery stenosis presenting as limb shaking syndrome, showing satisfactory clinical improvement after undergoing stent revascularization.
