Microscopic Polyangiitis Presenting with Capsular Warning Syndrome and Subsequent Stroke J Neurol Sci 277:174-175, Tang, C.,et al, 2009 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract A 55-year-old man developed ischemic stroke after three episodes of transient dysarthria and left hemiplegia, a typical manifestation of capsular warning syndrome. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed bilateral basal ganglionic infarction. The patient had no significant risk of stroke. However, the systemic manifestations, an elevated titer of perinuclear anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody and a skin biopsy revealing leukocytoclastic venulitis confirmed the underlying microscopic polyangiitis.
