Journal of Clinical Anesthesia 2016 June
DESIGN: This is a case report.
SETTING: The setting is at a postoperative recovery area.
PATIENTS: A 52-year-old woman with a history of migraine with unilateral motor symptoms developed hemiparesis after undergoing general anesthesia for total thyroidectomy.
INTERVENTIONS: No interventions were performed.
MEASUREMENTS/MAIN RESULTS: Head computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were normal. Laboratory studies including basic metabolic panel and complete blood count were also within normal limits.
CONCLUSIONS: General anesthesia may be a trigger for hemiplegic migraine syndromes; however, it behooves the practitioner to rule out acute neurologic and metabolic events before making this diagnosis.
