Ischemic Stroke Associated With Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome
2021, Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :The patient did not answer many questions, and answered several other questions by nodding her head. Her inability to communicate effectively could be attributed to global aphasia caused by cerebral infarction in the dominant hemisphere (21). Therefore, when the patient presented to the ED, we initially suspected a condition that mimicked cerebral infarction.
Young Ischemic Stroke in Association with Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome
2016, Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular DiseasesCitation Excerpt :We also performed a review of previously published ischemic cerebral infarction and CVST cases to evaluate common patterns in presentations, commonly affected central nervous system sides, trends for therapeutic options in these cases, and outcomes. We have included 27 cases of ischemic cerebral infarction1-25 and 7 cases of CVST26-32 previously published in English literature (Tables 1, 2). We have included cases of central retinal artery occlusion in the ischemic cerebral infarction group and central retinal vein occlusion in the CVST group.
