Abstract

Limb-shaking transient ischemic attack is a rare disease, associated with the steno-occlusion of the internal carotid artery. It is caused by hemodynamic dysfunction in the anterior circulation. It is difficult to observe patients directly in clinical settings since they visit the hospital after symptoms have subsided which usually last less than 5 minutes. Here we report a atient who developed right arm dominant myoclonus related to left internal carotid artery occlusion along with a recorded video.
