Abstract

A case is presented of an atypical manifestation of localized scleroderma. The patient is a 30 year-old Caucasian women with localized facial scleroderma “coup de sabre”, with clinical stability for years. She was seen in the Emergency Department due to a sudden lack of sensitivity in her left side, and was treated as a stroke. Complementary tests showed intracranial parenchymal images that were finally attributed to the localized scleroderma. After a comprehensive literature review, this presentation was more frequent than expected. This is why neurological symptoms should be carefully evaluated in these patients. This is the first stroke-mimic case reported.

Resumen

A continuación presentamos el caso de una paciente con una manifestación atípica para esclerodermia localizada. Mujer de 30 años con esclerodermia localizada facial en “coup de sabré”, con estabilidad clínica de las lesiones durante años. En el 2017 acude al servicio de urgencias por un cuadro de alteración sensitiva en hemicuerpo izquierdo que fue tratada como un ictus. En los estudios complementarios se objetivaron lesiones parenquimatosas finalmente atribuibles a la esclerodermia localizada. Tras revisar la literatura, este tipo de lesiones es más frecuente de lo esperado, por lo que parece obligatorio dedicar más atención a los síntomas neurológicos en los pacientes con esclerodermia localizada. Este es el primer caso de stroke-mimic reportado.
