Article information

Se describe el caso de un paciente varón de 58 años que presenta en el último mes 2 episodios de pérdida de fuerzas en ambas extremidades izquierdas, con disartria y caída al suelo y resolución espontánea. Fue diagnosticado de accidente isquémico transitorio (AIT). No presentaba ningún factor de riesgo cardiovascular, con presiones arteriales normales. Tras estudio neurológico específico y estudio de la posible etiología o factores de riesgo no se observó ninguna evidencia. Se practicó una monitorización ambulatoria de la presión arterial durante 24 horas, observándose el fenómeno de normotensión de bata blanca como posible factor de riesgo favorecedor del accidente isquémico. Se analiza la prevalencia, diagnóstico, reproducibilidad, asociación a otras variables y su significado clínico.

We report the case of a 58-year old male patient who in the last month had two drop attacks with strength loss in both upper and lower left limbs; the patient had dysarthria and the clinical picture resolved spontaneously. He was diagnosed ot transient ischemic attacks (TIA). He had no cardiovascular risk factors and blood pressure was normal. After a specific neurological investigation and study of the possible etiology or risk factors no evidence was observed. A 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was performed and the white coat normotension phenomenon was observed as the likely risk factor for the attack. The prevalence, diagnosis, reproducibility, association with other variables and its clinical significance are analyzed.

Key words:
