Cureus. 2022 Aug 25;14(8):e28410. doi: 10.7759/cureus.28410. eCollection 2022 Aug.

Abstract

Transient ischemic attack (TIA) shakes can present as epilepsy which could lead to misdiagnosis. When a patient present with neurological findings we must ensure our differentials remain broad. As a physician, we must ensure our role in analyzing the full clinical picture of our patients. We present the case of a 75-year-old man with multiple comorbidities who presented with limb shaking and seizure-like symptoms and who was found to have bilateral carotid stenosis. After finding bilateral carotid stenosis, it ultimately led to the diagnosis of "TIA Shakes." Overall, this case re-emphasizes the importance of diagnosis and correctly managing our patients.

Keywords: and transient ischemic attack (tia); bilateral carotid stenosis; stroke; tia; tia shake.
