Atypical Sensory Loss Pattern in an Isolated Thalamic Stroke: A Case Report.

This case report discusses a 51-year-old male who presented to the emergency department (ED) with left-sided hemiparesthesia and left leg incoordination. The initial brain computed tomography (CT) scan was negative, and the follow-up brain CT three days after the onset of symptoms was also negative. Although sensitivity and specificity are not 100%, CT remains the first-line diagnostic test for detecting a cerebrovascular accident (CVA).
