摘要

Lacunar strokes account for about a fourth of all ischemic strokes. Pontine infarcts often present with stuttering symptoms, referred to as pontine warning syndrome (PWS). Patients presenting with fluctuating symptoms can appear to have rapidly improving symptoms and thus often go untreated despite the risk of recurrent deficits. MRI carries a higher sensitivity in detecting posterior circulation strokes compared to computed topagraphy, but does not always indicate irreversible injury. Here we present the first description of a stuttering lacune, captured radiographically on serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), that was initially averted with the administration of intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), only to return a month later and progress on imaging despite re-administration of tPA. During the first admission, our patient had spontaneous resolution of symptoms with complete reversal on restricted diffusion soon after IV tPA administration. On the second admission, the stuttering symptoms returned as did the same pontine lesion. Although his stuttering lesions lasted for several days, and the pontine lesion did ultimately progress to partial infarction on MRI, he was discharged home without neurologic deficits. Our case suggests that tPA may be of benefit in patients with lacunar pontine strokes even if symptoms rapidly improve or resolve.
