Abstract

LEAD POISONING PRESENTING AS A MIMIC OF ACUTE STROKE

Dr. Sandhya Manorenj,* Dr. Snehalatha Inturi and Dr. Narayana Pancheti

ABSTRACT

Stroke mimics are usually non-vascular disease processes. Stroke mimics are difficult to diagnose in an emergency room situation and may be initially treated as stroke. This case report highlights the importance of history taking, especially occupational history, in the differential diagnosis of stroke. We report the case of a 40-year-old man who developed symptoms suggestive of posterior circulation stroke after he was exposed to lead chloride at his workplace. We also stress the need to recognize mimics at presentation in order to arrive at an early and appropriate management of patients.
