Abstract
Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that could affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract. The association between posterior circulation stroke and Crohn’s disease is rarely reported and was controversial for long time. We report herein a case of a stroke in the right posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) territory in a male patient with no cardiovascular risk factors who was monitored for ileocolic active Crohn’s Disease.
The aim is to assess the pathophysiological correlation between this inflammatory condition and the predominance of vertebrobasilar strokes and to highlight appropriate management characteristics.
