After early gastric lavage, she remained hemodynamically stable during the initial 24 hours and was discharged. Ten days after ingestion, she developed sudden right facial weakness, right hemiparesis, and mild dysarthria. On day 11, her National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was 11. Contrast-enhanced brain computed tomography demonstrated acute-to-subacute hypodensity in the left lentiform nucleus, caudate head, and anterior limb of the internal capsule.
