Key result
SCAD with thrombus mobilization presents as acute ischemic stroke in young athletes lacking atherosclerotic risks.
Why the study?
Cases of acute ischemic stroke secondary to spontaneous coronary artery dissection are extremely rare, and none have been reported secondary to intracoronary thrombus displacement.
Case Report (n=1)
No
This case highlights that acute ischemic stroke can be the sole clinical manifestation of spontaneous coronary artery dissection, even in young athletes without atherosclerotic risk factors.

Rodrigues et al. (2024) conducted a case report in Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) presenting as Acute Ischemic Stroke (n=1). Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) was evaluated. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection with intracoronary thrombus mobilization can present as acute ischemic stroke in young athletes without atherosclerotic risk factors.
