Core Tip
Core Tip: Lacunar stroke occurs due to blockage in specific small blood vessels resulting in hypoxia and damage in corresponding tissues, which is primarily classified into five types based on clinical symptoms. However, many other types remain to be thoroughly explored. We present a case where a subacute stroke manifested with symptoms such as involuntary deviation of the tongue to the right, speech difficulty, choking on water, and biting the oral mucosa, with the sole sensory manifestation of tongue numbness, which indicates a new type of lacunar stroke presenting in brain perfusion images.
