摘要

A 43-year-old male patient presented with monoparesis in his left leg, which had persisted for one year, then progressed to spastic dysarthria, tetraparesis, wide-based gait, muscle atrophy, weakness, fasciculations, and signs of pyramidal signs in all limbs. Brain MRI findings revealed hyperintensities on T2/FLAIR and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) along the corticospinal tracts, extending from the corona radiata and internal capsules to the brainstem, the “bright tongue sign” and the “wine glass sign,”. This case highlights the classic findings in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which was confirmed by electroneuromyography.
