ABSTRACT
Diagnosis of transient ischemic attack has been entirely dependent on the clinical history due to the absence of brain magnetic resonance imaging lesion. It is challenging to distinguish between transient ischemic attack and transient ischemic attack-mimics. Cerebral microbleeds would be found in 11.1–23.5% of incidental findings in elderly population. However, cerebral microbleeds have been known to lead to cognitive decline, dementia, seizure and even status epilepticus. We report a case of cerebral microbleeds induced epileptic seizure, visiting the emergency room with sudden onset unilateral motor weakness.
