Abstract

The article presents case studies of 29-year-old and 32-year-old female patients with symptoms and signs of stroke mimicking conversion disorder. It mentions that the first patient was found with multiple infarctions in the posterior circulation in her brain using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the latter showed with infarctions in the right posterolateral thalamus. Moreover, it presents the discussion on the findings which can be a key for diagnosis of conversion disorder.
