Summary: Ischaemic stroke (IS) in young adults is relatively infrequent. However, approximately 10% of first IS may occur in patients 45 years old or younger. Principal causes of IS in young adults are cardiogenic or noncardiogenic embolism, atherosclerosis, arterial dissection, drugs abuse (cocaine and anphetamine), vasculitis, hypercoagulable states, dural sinus thrombosis and migraine. About a third of cases of IS in young adults may not have an identified cause. We describe a 39-year old female with an IS of unknown etiology.

Contudo, cerca de 10% dos primeiros AVCs ocorrem em pacientes com 45 ou menos anos. As principais causas de AVC isquémico no adulto jovem incluem a embolia cardiogénica ou não cardiogénica, aterosclerose, dissecção arterial, abuso de drogas (cocaína e anfetaminas) vasculite, estados de hipercoagulação, trombose do seio dural e enxaqueca. Cerca de um terço dos casos de AVC em adultos jovens não têm uma causa identificável. Neste trabalho descreve-se o caso de uma mulher de 39 anos que sofreu um AVC de etiologia desconhecida.Associação Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar2004-11-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.32385/rpmgf.v20i6.10093https://doi.org/10.32385/rpmgf.v20i6.10093Portuguese Journal of Family Medicine and General Practice; Vol. 20 No. 6 (2004): Revista Portuguesa de Clínica Geral; 675-8Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar; Vol. 20 Núm. 6 (2004): Revista Portuguesa de Clínica Geral; 675-8Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar; Vol. 20 N.º 6 (2004): Revista Portuguesa de Clínica Geral; 675-82182-51812182-517310.32385/rpmgf.v20i6reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPporhttps://rpmgf.pt/ojs/index.php/rpmgf/article/view/10093https://rpmgf.pt/ojs/index.php/rpmgf/article/view/10093/9830Calvo-Romero, José MaríaLima-Rodríguez, Esther Maríainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-09-17T11:58:30Zoai:ojs.rpmgf.pt:article/10093Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T18:50:41.121848Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
