Double Stroke and Double Malignancy: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Case Reports and Studies - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Stroke associated with malignancy is rapidly increasing. Lesion types mainly resemble cardio embolic multiple ischemic lesions. We present a rare stroke patient with both ischemic and hemorrhagic lesions simultaneously. The etiology of stroke was found to be due to lung cancer and essential thrombocytosis. Differential diagnosis in this case can help for further investigation of strokes with malignancy.
