Abstract

An 82-year-old woman was admitted due to disturbance of consciousness. Six months previously, she had been diagnosed with nested variant of urothelial carcinoma. Magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple bilateral small acute cerebral infarctions, corresponding to Trousseau’s syndrome. Best supportive care was chosen and she finally died. This is the sixth case of Trousseau’s syndrome induced by bladder carcinoma and the first case of Trousseau’s syndrome in a patient with nested variant of urothelial carcinoma. This unique case adds one more cause to the list of documented etiologies of Trousseau’s syndrome.
