Article Synopsis
- A 19-year-old man exhibited symptoms including headaches, weakness, memory loss, and speech difficulties, which worsened over time, leading to a diagnosis of large ischemic strokes as revealed by a CT scan.
- Despite treatment for a suspected central nervous system vasculitis, the patient unfortunately died a few weeks later, highlighting the complexities of managing strokes in settings with limited resources.
- The case also emphasizes the need for improved stroke management strategies and collaboration between institutions like University College London and others to enhance response and care in similar scenarios.
