Polycythemia Vera Presenting As Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
Polycythemia Vera (PV) patients are prone for vaso-occlusive events including cerebral ischemia. Although infrequent, Polycythemia Vera can present as a case of acute stroke for the first time. A 54 year old male presented to us with left sided hemiparesis and imaging revealed lacunar infarct in right middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory. Evaluation showed it as a case of Polcythemia Vera. The case is reported in view of rarity of stroke being the inaugural manifestation of Polycythemia Vera.
