Abstract:
A 39 years old, right handed, hypertensive non-diabetic smoker presented with ischemic stroke with left sided hemiplegia and absent right upper limb peripheral pulses. Possible causes of young stroke were searched. Cerebral digital subtraction angiography (DSA) revealed 95% stenosis at origin of brachiocephalic trunk with absent flow in right sub-clavian artery and 75% stenosis at osteum of left vertebral artery with flow reversal through right vertebral artery. Subsequently, stents were placed within the stenosed portion Right brachiocephalic trunk and left vertebral artery. The intervention resulted in immediate restoration of right upper limb pulses and cessation of flow reversal in vertebral artery.
