Abstract

Vomiting is a typical symptom of cerebellar hemorrhage. Usually only supportive care such as antiemetic drugs are available. A 76-year-old woman presented in a light coma. A head CT demonstrated right cerebellar hemorrhage and the hematoma was surgically evacuated. Her intractable vomiting started 3 weeks after surgery. Because her vomiting was unexplained, we checked her EEG, which demonstrated generalized periodic discharges. We diagnosed her with ictal vomiting. Anti-seizure medication was administered and vomiting was rapidly controlled. In conclusion, physicians must be aware that vomiting may rarely occur as a sign of seizures and status epilepticus.

小脑出血后致致呕吐1例
呕吐是小脑出血的典型症状。通常只有支持性护理,如止吐药物是可用的。76岁女性轻度昏迷。头部CT显示右侧小脑出血,手术清除血肿。术后3 周出现难治性呕吐。因为她的呕吐无法解释,我们检查了她的脑电图,显示她有周期性呕吐。我们诊断她有严重呕吐。给予抗癫痫药物治疗,呕吐迅速得到控制。总之,医生必须意识到呕吐很少作为癫痫发作和癫痫持续状态的征兆。
