Accidente cerebrovascular isquémico en un adulto joven

Palabras clave: trombofilia, G2021A, ataque isquémico transitorio, protrombina, accidente cerebrovascular

Resumen

Presentamos caso de un varón de 39 años con antecedentes de varios accidentes isquémicos transitorios que siempre resolvieron rápida y espontáneamente. Fue sometido a varios estudios cardiovasculares, neurovasculares y de neuro y angioimagen que resultaron normales. El paciente se presentó a consulta con una paresia facio-braquial derecha y disartria. Sin embargo, el cuadro cedió en el transcurso de horas a pesar de manifestarse una isquemia en los estudios neurovasculares. Por todo lo anterior se decidió estudiar trombofilias presentándose el resultado de una mutación del gen G20210A de la protrombina. Al alta, en tratamiento con anticoagulantes orales, el paciente se presenta asintomático con monitoreo mensual continuo.
