Resumo

Descrevemos o caso de uma paciente feminina com signos e sintomas iniciais pouco específicos, com alteração no estado de consciência. Se suspeitou possível intoxicação, por nexo causal, provavelmente por amitraz versus benzodiacepinas, mas, sem confirmação deste. A paciente tinha alteração do sistema nervoso central com sintomas sugestivos de síndrome neurovascular, com possível compromisso de circulação posterior. A importância deste caso é ressaltar o amplo espectro de apresentação clínica das doenças neurológicas, a importância de realizar diagnósticos diferenciais considerando os sintomas camaleónicos do acidente cerebrovascular, da mesma forma que os “mimics stroke” e realizar enfoques clínicos integrais.
