Pronounced isolated severe apraxia of speech, a rare presentation of an acute ischaemic stroke
Abstract
A 39-year-old previously healthy woman presented with sudden onset loss of speech. Except for subtle right facial asymmetry, no other neurological deficits were found. A non-contrast CT scan was unremarkable. She was thrombolised with iv alteplase (0.9mg/kg standard dose) after 2 hours from the onset.
