TinglingDeafness
A common symptom of a stroke is hemiplegia of the muscles, especially the mimic muscles, the muscles of the arms and the legs. Depending on the extent of the stroke, however, complete paralysis may not occur immediately. A numbness or tingling sensation in the affected arm or leg is often also felt. On the one hand, this can remain the case, but on the other hand it can also be the harbinger of a coming paralysis of the musculature. and numbness in the leg
Gait disorder
Gait disorders are a symptom that occurs mainly when the posterior brain region and the cerebellum are affected by the stroke. Walking insecurities often occur together with dizziness and fear of falling. Disturbances in the movement sequences themselves (ataxia) can also be accompanying, as can uncontrollable, rhythmic movements of the eyes (nystagmus). All symptoms together are also called acute vestibular syndrome and are an absolute warning signal in stroke diagnostics.
Flickering eyes
Flickering of the eye during a stroke is known as nystagmus, which refers to uncontrollable, rhythmic movements of the eye at rest. These often occur with feelings of dizziness. This is referred to as central eye movement disorders, which can occur in many different neurological diseases. They are also typical for a stroke in which the rear brain region and/or the cerebellum are affected. The eye tremor is an expression of a defective coordination between the sense of balance and vision.
Double images
If the stroke takes place in the area of the visual center, it can manifest itself in various symptoms. One of the symptoms can be the appearance of double images, i.e. objects being looked at are seen twice, with the objects then being seen twice next to each other, one above the other or diagonally to each other. The reason for this is that the nerve cells that send impulses to the optic nerves, which are responsible for the eye muscles, have died. If the eye muscles on one eye no longer function correctly, the eyes no longer move in the same direction, resulting in double images.
