Acilde Ölüm Uykusu: Bilateral Talamik İnfarkt

Öz

Bilateral talamik klinik olarak ani gelişen bilinç değişikliği, vertikal bakış paralizileri ve kognitif bozukluklarla kendini gösterirler. Bu olguları tartışırken amacımız acil servise ani bilinç değişikliği ile başvuran uyku hali mevcut olup lateralize bulgusu olamayan hastalarda bilateral talamik infark tanısını akla getirmek ve literatür ışığında konuyu gözden geçirmektir. Acil servise ani bilinç değişikliği ile başvuran hastalarda bilateral talamik infark akılda bulundurulmalı ve erken dönemde tanısı konularak tedaviye başlanmalıdır.
