Abstract
Stroke mimics complicate stroke diagnosis in the emergency department. Here, we present a case, diagnosed as psychogenic stroke, in which the patient presented with right-sided facial deviation, slurred speech, and right-sided weakness, after receiving bad news. Her imaging findings were unremarkable, and her symptoms resolved entirely after two hours. We conclude with several remarks about the relationship between emotions and stroke and the challenges of diagnosing psychogenic stroke.
