ABSTRACT

Cheiro-oral syndrome is characterized by a partial sensory disturbance in one hand and the ipsilateral oral corner. Its lesion is on the sensory track, and it is comparatively small .Most studies are case studies. These studies reported less than 10 cases. We studied two cases. In one, we observed intracranial hemorrhage involving left thalamus, posterior limb of internal capsule about 5cc in brain computed tomographic scan. The case was shown paresthesia of the right hand and ipsilateral corner of the mouth. The patient also complained about disturbing dysstereognosis and disorder of graphaesthesia. In the other case, we observed nodular calcification at the left basal ganglia external capsule in brain computed tomographic scan. The patient also complained about dysesthesia of the right thumb and index finger, fatigue and verbal disturbance. These cases appeared to be typical strokes in the acute phase, but after acute phase, they had dysethesia in the hand and periord for three months.

Key words: Cheiro-oral syndrome, dysesthesia, stroke
