Abstract
ABSTRACT
Cheiro-Oral Syndrome (COS) is a very rare neurological syndrome associated with
varied etiology. We report a 53-year-old man presented with left sided perioral
and ipsilateral hand/fingers burning sensation for a one-month duration. On
examination, he had hypesthesia over left perioral and distal palmar aspect of all
five fingers. MRI revealed subacute infarct in the posterior limb of right internal
capsule adjacent to and minimally involving thalamus. He was diagnosed as Cheiro-
Oral Syndrome as a result of ischemic stroke and managed.
