BACKGROUND: Acute stroke presenting as monoparesis is rare, with a pure motor deficit in the arm or leg extending to an isolated facial paresis.
OBJECTIVE: To raise the question if acute stroke presenting as monoparesis is a different entity from stroke with a more extensive motor deficit.
PATIENTS: In the Lausanne Stroke Registry (1979-2000), 195 (4.1%) of 4802 patients met the clinical criteria for pure monoparesis involving the face (22%), arm (63%), or leg (15%).
RESULTS: In the vast majority of cases (> 95%), monoparesis corresponded to ischemic stroke with a favorable outcome, with initial computed tomography scans or magnetic resonance images showing no signs of hemorrhage. The lesion for a facial deficit was most frequently located subcortically (internal capsule); for an arm deficit, in the superficial middle cerebral artery; and for a leg deficit, in the anterior cerebral artery territory. In pure monoparesis, only 17% of the patients had more than 1 risk factor as compared with 26% of those with bimodal and trimodal hemiparesis and with 46% of all patients with stroke other than those with pure motor stroke. The only frequent risk factor was hypertension (53%); however, this frequency was no different from that in other patients with stroke. No major stroke etiology could be identified in any of the 3 subgroups of monoparesis.
CONCLUSION: Our finding of a wide range of stroke localization and etiology in monoparesis without any particular subgroup suggests that no specific plan of investigation can be recommended for these patients.
