Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a growing public health concern, with millions of individuals experiencing IPV each year. Consequences of IPV include psychological disturbances, changes in physical health, and in extreme cases, severe disablement or death. Here, we describe a case of a patient who experienced IPV, leading to a variety of neurological symptoms, and was diagnosed with a posterior cerebral artery (PCA) cerebrovascular accident (CVA) 10 days later. While cases of traumatic brain injury leading to CVA, or stroke, have been documented, there is currently limited reported literature on the neurological complications, specifically stroke, secondary to IPV in adults. Due to this limited reporting, future studies on IPV will be needed to fully understand the long-term neurological complications that may occur.
亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）是一个日益受到关注的公共卫生问题，每年有数百万人遭受IPV。IPV的后果包括心理障碍、身体健康变化，在极端情况下，会导致严重残疾或死亡。在此，我们描述了一例经历IPV的患者，该患者出现了多种神经症状，并在10天后被诊断为大脑后动脉（PCA）脑血管意外（CVA）。虽然已有创伤性脑损伤导致CVA或中风的病例记录，但目前关于成人IPV继发神经并发症，特别是中风的文献报道有限。由于这种报道有限，未来需要对IPV进行研究，以充分了解可能发生的长期神经并发症。
