Abstract
|
|
|
|
Adults with a congenital heart disease (CHD) are increasing in number owing to improvement in diagnostics, medical management, and surgical techniques in infant and child patients. These patients are at increased risk of stroke; their improved longevity has increased the chance of adult neurologists encountering CHD patients. Adults with CHD may have distinctive stroke characteristics, because they have different hemodynamic features that last for a long time after corrective surgery. Herein we present the case of a female patient who had received Fontan operation due to functional single ventricle at the age of five. She developed sudden basilar occlusion at the age of 19 and was successfully treated with aspiration thrombectomy even after 24 hours of the symptom onset.
