| pubmed-article:17615840 | pubmed:abstractText | Heat stroke is a rare clinical phenomenon, characterized by systemic heat and cytokine-induced organ damage. Permanent neurological deficits rarely develop following heat strokes, and cerebellar dysfunction predominates among these rare cases. We report a case of severe heat stroke with recovery from severe multiorgan failure but with persistent neurological manifestations. These included a combination of resolving right-sided signs as well as persistent frontal subcortical dysfunction, with minimal, if any, cerebellar involvement. This combination and the absence of cerebellar involvement is an unusual neurological sequelae of heat stroke. | lld:pubmed |
