Abstract
We have recently encountered a case of pseudogout with high fever, which may be induced by cerebrovascular stroke. In the acute stage of cerebrovascular stroke associating with disturbance of consciousness and frequent fever, signs of the pseudogout are apt to be overlooked. Therefore, physicians should bear the following points in mind in order to obtain quickly accurate diagnosis of the pseudogout in the acute post-stroke period.
1) Attack of Pseudogout can be often induced by cerebrovascular stroke.
2) Pseudogout is frequently accompanied by fever.
3) Attack of the pseudogout usually subsides in a short period, but it sometimes persists for a long time.
4) In the acute stage of cerebrovascular stroke, symptoms such as arthralgia, etc., are frequently overlooked by disturbance of consciousness and dementia.
