Cortical Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Presenting with Hemibody Dystonic Myoclonus: An Illustrative Case

Abstract

Nontraumatic cortical subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) presents with various neurological symptoms, including headache, hemiparesis, dysarthria and seizures, with different etiologies [1-3]. An accurate understanding of presenting symptoms in patients with cortical SAH is very important not only for diagnosis but also for treatment. Herein, we present an interesting case of a woman in her late 30s presenting with sudden-onset dystonic myoclonus of the left hemibody who was finally diagnosed with isolated cortical SAH.
