چکیده

Stroke or cerebrovascular disease is one of the most important causes of high morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Stroke in young individuals poses a major problem as these individuals are bread earners of the family. Ischaemic strokes are increasingly being attributed to causes other than atherothrombotic disease. Disorders of coagulation leading to thrombotic disorders are relatively uncommon conditions which are implicated in approximately 1% of all ischaemic strokes and 4-8% of young strokes. Bilateral superior cerebellar infarcts due to hypercoagulable state are extremely rare situations. Here we present two patients with unusual presentation of stroke in young due to hypercoagulable state.

Bilateral thalamic stroke due to occlusion of the artery of Percheron in a patient with patent foramen ovale: a case report

INTRODUCTION Bilateral thalamic infarcts are rare presentations of stroke. They are the result of a complex combination of risk factors and a predisposing vessel distribution. The artery of Percheron, characterized by a single arterial trunk that irrigates both paramedian thalamic regions, can be occluded as a result of embolic diseases leading to bilateral paramedian thalamic infarcts. Clinica...
