Association of Restrictive Cardiomyopathy and Middle Cerebral Artery Infarct: A case report

Abstract

Restrictive cardiomyopathy is rare in children, constituting 5% of diagnosed cardiomyopathies. Prognosis for the pediatric patient is poor. Thrombosis, embolic events are increased. Restrictive cardiomyopathy with middle cerebral artery infarct is rarely reported. We aimed to report Restrictive cardiomyopathy with middle cerebral artery infarct to explain thrombosis and thromboembolic events in Restrictive cardiomyopathy

Restriktif Kardiyomiyopati ve orta serebral arter infarkt birlikteligi: Vaka sunumu

Abstract

Restriktif Kardiyomiyopati çocukluk çagindan oldukça nadir olarak karsimiza çikmaktadir. Tanimlanan kardiyomiyopatilerin ancak %5’ini olusturmaktadir ve prognozu oldukça kötüdür. Bu tür olgularda tromboza egilim ve tromboembolik durumlarin sikligi artmistir. Literatürde Restriktif Kardiyomiyopati ve orta serebral arter infarkti birlikteligi oldukça nadir bildirilmistir. Burada sol hemiparazi bulgulari ile basvuran nadir bir olgu sunularak, bu tip kardiyomiyopatili hastalarda tromboz ve tromboembolik olaylara dikkati çekmek istedik
