Abstract

A case of repeated reversible cerebrovascular deficit proved on computerized tomography to be hemorrhagic in origin. It would seem advisable to await the outcome of CT before classifying a case of cerebrovascular disease even though the clinical features point to ischemia as the cause.

Sommario

Gli Autori descrivono un caso clinico caratterizzato da episodi cerebrovascolari deficitari di tipo reversibile, la cui misura è risultata emorragica alla tomografia computerizzata.

Discutono sulla opportunità di attendere l'esito TAC prima di classificare una patologia cerebrovascolare, nonostante i suoi caratteri clinici ne indichino la natura ischemica.
