Abstract
- Diaschisis is classically defined as a sudden inhibition of function, produced by an acute focal disturbance in a remote area which is anatomically connected through fiber tracts. Transhemispheric diaschisis can underlie some diffuse symptoms of acute supratentorial stroke such as agitation, confusion, and coma. We experienced a patient with right middle cerebral artery infarction, presenting a quadriparesis and hypoesthesia at sensory level. This case suggests the diaschisis exacerbate the initial focal deficit such as weakness and sensory loss.
