The case describes a middle-aged man with well-managed multiple sclerosis who experienced an acute ischemic stroke attributed to a rare anatomical variant - a duplicated left superior cerebellar artery (SCA). Despite his prior lack of neurological issues, the patient presented with severe headaches and walking difficulties. Imaging confirmed the ischemic stroke in the left SCA territory and revealed the duplicated left SCA. This case highlights the importance of considering cerebrovascular anatomy in stroke risk assessment, especially in individuals with unique vascular features such as duplicated SCAs, which can predispose to vascular complications.
该病例描述了一名患有多发性硬化症且病情得到良好控制的中年男性,他经历了一次急性缺血性中风,病因是一种罕见的解剖变异——左侧小脑上动脉(SCA)重复。尽管患者此前没有神经系统问题,但此次出现了严重头痛和行走困难。影像学检查证实左侧SCA区域发生了缺血性中风,并发现了左侧SCA重复。该病例强调了在中风风险评估中考虑脑血管解剖结构的重要性,尤其是在具有独特血管特征(如SCA重复)的个体中,这种特征可能易引发血管并发症。
