Abstract:
Atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare and complex condition characterized by systemic thrombotic microangiopathy resulting from complement dysregulation. While primarily affecting renal microvasculature, aHUS can present with multi-organ involvement, posing significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report the case of a 22-year-old female with a history of aHUS who developed a catastrophic haemorrhagic stroke. Her clinical course underscores the severe and unpredictable nature of aHUS, illustrating the critical need for heightened awareness of its potential neurological manifestations. aHUS is typically triggered by a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors such as infections or medications. This case highlights the necessity for comprehensive evaluation and prompt intervention in patients with aHUS presenting with atypical symptoms. The complexity of aHUS necessitates a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and management to mitigate morbidity and mortality.
