Abstract
Case 1— A 58 year old woman awoke one night with a numbness and weakness of her left arm and leg. By the morning these had slightly improved. Her doctor diagnosed a transient ischaemic attack. She started aspirin treatment and was advised to see a specialist. By evening she was admitted to hospital. On examination her symptoms had resolved completely and she did not have weakness or sensory impairment. A computed tomogram showed a small intracerebral haemorrhage in the region of the putamen (figure a).
