Abstract

Limb-shaking transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a rare manifestation of carotid-occlusive damage. This case report highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis and treatment of bilateral ballism as limb-shaking TIA. Superficial cephalic artery and mid-large artery anastomosis was performed after the initial acute treatment, and involuntary limb shaking disappeared.

Keywords: carotid stenosis; diabetes mellitus; hypertension; limb shaking; transient ischemic attack.
