When he wakes up, the right side of his face is paralyzed. The man sees his surroundings in a distorted way. An expert takes pictures of the brain vessels – and finds the reason.
It was one spring a few years ago when the patient came to our emergency room. The 77-year-old was noticeably pale, he felt nauseous and was in severe pain. But what my colleagues noticed most was that he had his eyes closed. He complained that he was dizzy and that his vision around him was strangely blurry. Since I had worked in a neurological department for a long time, I was called in quickly.
A friendly, strong man was sitting in front of me. His wife was with him and looked after him lovingly. The patient kept trying, but he had trouble describing what exactly had happened to him. That same morning he woke up with a severe headache on the right side of his face, the right side of his face was paralyzed, so that the right corner of his mouth was hanging down. What irritated him most, however, was that he suddenly saw everything twisted, but he found it difficult to explain exactly how.
