Video Summary
This presentation discusses the case of a 67-year-old male who experienced a wake-up stroke, which is when stroke symptoms occur upon waking in the morning. The patient had no prior history of strokes but presented with right-sided weakness and dysarthria. He experienced various complications including tracheostomy and osteomyelitis. It was later discovered that the patient had severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which had gone undiagnosed. The presentation highlights the importance of recognizing the symptoms and causes of wake-up strokes, particularly in patients with undiagnosed OSA. Early detection of OSA could potentially lead to shorter hospital stays and improved patient outcomes.
