Popis: | Pseudomigraine with pleocytosis (PMP) is an uncommon disease in Japan. The diagnostic criteria include at least one episode of transient neurological deficit accompanied or followed by migraine-like severe headache, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lymphocytosis, and normal neuroimaging. Both the etiology and the pathophysiology of PMP is not yet well defined. We report a 40-year-old man with a PMP-like syndrome. He came to our clinic because of severe throbbing headache and amnesia, and the examination showed CSF lymphocytosis of 23/mm3, a transient decrease of cerebral blood flow in the left thalamus. All the symptoms were completely resolved within 2 months. |
