The rare cheiro-oral-pedal syndrome (COPS) is characterized by sensory disturbances around the corner of the mouth, and in the hand and foot of the same side. The causative lesion is located in the thalamocortical projections, thalamus or brainstem and is usually due to ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. We report a case of a patient with brain stem cavernous malformations presented as pure COPS with additional sensory disturbance in the thorax. We report this case to raise awareness of these very rare syndromes and demonstrate that mildly presenting symptoms can be caused by an underlying devastating condition.

Cheiro-oral-pedal syndrome is characterized by specific sensory disturbance around the corner of the mouth, in the hand and in the foot on the same side. Lesions responsible for causing this syndrome vary. We report two cases of cheiro-oral-pedal syndrome due to midbrain and pontine hemorrhage, respectively.

Cortical lesion might elicit restricted acral sensory deficit but a disparity of topographies in cheiro-oral-pedal syndrome is very rare. We report the first case of cheiro-oral-pedal syndrome due to a contralateral parasagittal hemangioma involving the supplement sensory area in parietal lobe. This unusual link between neuroanatomy and neurological feature is discussed.

Objective: We report a clinical description of pure sensory stroke based on data collected from a prospective acute stroke registry.
Methods: From 2500 acute stroke patients included in a hospital-based prospective stroke registry over a 12-year period, 99 were identified as having pure sensory stroke.
Results: Pure sensory stroke accounted for 4.
