Bilateral TIAs and unilateral seizures due to orthostatic hypotension. A case report.
After a reversible right hemispheric stroke, a patient with bilateral carotid occlusion developed left motor seizures and bilateral TIAs, both triggered by orthostatic hypotension. A CT-scan showed a right frontal hypodense area. Hemodynamic factors may cause focal seizures in patients with cortical lesions.
