Abstract
Design: This is a case report.
Setting: The setting is at a postoperative recovery area. Patients: A 52-year-old woman with a history of migraine with unilateral motor symptoms developed hemiparesis after undergoing general anesthesia for total thyroidectomy.
Interventions: No interventions were performed.
Measurements/main results: Head computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were normal. Laboratory studies including basic metabolic panel and complete blood count were also within normal limits.
Conclusions: General anesthesia may be a trigger for hemiplegic migraine syndromes; however, it behooves the practitioner to rule out acute neurologic and metabolic events before making this diagnosis. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
