Article Synopsis
- Polycythemia vera (PV) is a stem cell disease leading to increased production of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, which can elevate stroke risk, particularly ischemic stroke.
- A 60-year-old male patient with right-side weakness was diagnosed with an acute cerebral infarct caused by PV after lab tests and brain imaging.
- Although rare, PV can cause ischemic strokes, emphasizing the need for healthcare professionals to recognize this potential link.

- The study investigated the prevalence and causes of hypothyroidism in hemodialysis patients at a hospital in Mogadishu, Somalia, involving 301 patients aged 40-66.
- It found that 28% of the patients were hypothyroid, with the majority (57.8%) having subclinical hypothyroidism.
- Factors like increasing age and low albumin levels were linked to a higher risk of subclinical hypothyroidism, while higher creatinine levels showed a lower risk of overt hypothyroidism.
Sheehan syndrome (SS) is one of the most common causes of pituitary gland dysfunction in childbearing women and occurs as a result of ischemic pituitary necrosis due to severe postpartum hemorrhage.

Most of the renovascular diseases are due to atherosclerosis, and fibromuscular disease is thought to be a rare cause of renovascular hypertension.
Case Presentation: We present a rare case of a young male patient who was diagnosed with renovascular hypertension due to fibromuscular dysplasia of both renal arteries.
