A CASE REPORT ON RECURRENT STROKE

IN THE YOUNG

troke in individuals less than 45 years of age is not uncommon but

poses a great economic and emotional burden to society. Though

uncommon, recurrent stroke in the young can present as a disabling dis-

ease which can cause permanent incapacity to the patient. Author pres-

ents a case of a 31 year old Filipino male with a three month history of in-

termittent right upper arm numbness which progressed to the face with

anomic aphasia for which a cranial MRI was done revealing a sub-acute

infarct in the left parietotemporal region which appeared to be associat-

ed with occlusive or partial occlusive thrombus at the distal third of the

superior sagittal sinus. In a span of four months, the stroke progressed

further, documented through MRI. He underwent a cerebral angiogram,

showing a complete occlusion of the left internal carotid artery with pos-

sible dissection of the left internal carotid artery with occlusion of the

distal left sigmoid sinus. Presently, stable disease has been achieved but

only supportive can be given to ensure maximal functional capacity.
