Cerebral infarction in a teenager 17 years old (clinical case)

Abstract

A clinical case of cerebral infarction in a adolescent patient complicated by symptomatic epilepsy in a rehabilitation period is presented. Among the possible risk factors that led to the development of acute cerebral circulatory failure, the following are highlighted: genetically metabolic (atherogenic dyslipidemia, burdened heredity), hematologic thrombotic (thrombocytosis, shortened bleeding time, increased international normalized ratio) and the acute infectious disease suffered the day before. There was a later request for medical help (a day after the moment of the disease), underestimation of the severity of the condition upon admission to the hospital.
