A 47-year-old female with a prior history of POEMS (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, and skin changes) syndrome was admitted with transient ischemic attacks complicated by dysarthria and right-sided hemiparesis. A blood survey indicated thrombocytosis and hyperfibrinogenemia while imaging of intracranial vasculature showed occlusion of the bilateral middle cerebral arteries. POEMS syndrome, of which arterial thromboses have been mentioned as a manifestation, is rarely accompanied by transient ischemic attacks. The pathophysiologic mechanism is yet unclear and needs further investigation.
一名47岁女性,既往有POEMS(多发性神经病、器官肿大、内分泌病、单克隆丙种球蛋白病和皮肤改变)综合征病史,因短暂性脑缺血发作入院,并发构音障碍和右侧偏瘫。血液检查显示血小板增多和纤维蛋白原血症升高,而颅内血管成像显示双侧大脑中动脉闭塞。POEMS综合征虽有动脉血栓形成作为其一种表现的相关报道,但很少伴有短暂性脑缺血发作。其病理生理机制尚不清楚,需要进一步研究。
