Oral syndrome: an incomplete form of cheiro-oral syndrome?
Cheiro-oral syndrome is a sensory disturbance observed around the corner of the mouth and the palm of the hand on the same side. We had an opportunity to observe a patient in whom sensory disturbance was limited only around the corner of the left mouth but not the hands or other findings. Computed tomography of the brain showed a low density area in the right thalamus. Could our case be called oral syndrome: incomplete form of cheiro-oral syndrome? We have to ask whether the our case is an oral syndrome or whether our case has to be regarded as a thalamic infarction.
