A clinical example of the "limping brain" syndrome: a case report.
We present a case report of a patient presenting with persistent aphasia for 1 week and cerebral hypoperfusion documented by single-photon emission tomography, both of which resolved completely after successful angioplasty of the symptomatic artery. This case represents a rare clinical example of "limping brain syndrome."
