LV noncompaction may cause bilateral PCA infarcts; hypothesis-generating and leaves open its role in cryptogenic stroke.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy as a potential rare cause of bilateral posterior cerebral artery stroke, manageable with thrombectomy and anticoagulation.
Elnazeir et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Bilateral posterior cerebral artery stroke and left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy (n=1). Left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy was evaluated on Neurological and cardiac recovery. Left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy was identified as a potential cause of simultaneous bilateral posterior cerebral artery infarcts in a 63-year-old man.
