초록
Heat stroke is a condition of severe heat injury characterized by hyperthermia, multiorgan failure and central nervous system dysfunction. A 79-year-old woman was brought to our hospital in a semicomatose state. She was found lying unconscious on her house yard at a hot summer day. Her body temperature was 40.3°C. Laboratory findings were consistent with multiorgan failure and rhabdomyolysis. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed multifocal infarctions in the bilateral basal ganglia, cerebellum, and occipital lobe. Despite cooling therapy and supportive treatment, her mentality was not recovered. This case suggests that multiple cerebral infarction may occur as a complication of heat stroke and prompt treatment is crucial.
