Abstract

Introduction: In sub-Saharan Africa, acute stroke management is lacking, as is etiological research and gestion of the common complications, often resulting in patients’ death. Atelectasis, is the complete or partial collapse of an area (lobe) of the lung; it is one of the most common respiratory complications after surgery. However, atelectasis is a relatively rare lung disease following a stroke. Case presentation: We report the case of an 84-year-old man, non-alcoholic-smoking and irregularly followed for high blood pressure on a heart disease for several years. He suddenly presented a right brachiofacial spastic hemiplegia with aphasia, rapidly followed by consciousness' troubles correlated with a mixed-mechanism ischemic stroke: embolic and atheromatus. After clinical improvement under symptomatic treatment, he suddenly presented an acute febrile respiratory distress at day 7 of hospitalization causing a suspected pulmonary embolism but with evidence on thoracic CT scan of a bilateral pleuropneumopathy with near-total atelectasis of the left lung. Evolution was unfavourable after a 15-day transitional improvment. Conclusions: Although unusual, an pulmonary atelectasis should be sought in cases of acute rebellious respiratory distress on a patient with a stroke. Management must be quick and collaborative to improve prognosis. Also, it is essential in our African context to systematize and repeat chest X-rays in case of leukoariosis on brain imaging, which is a fertile ground for the occurrence of pseudo-bulbar disorders, especially deglutition troubles.
