May have been a stroke but more likely to be a complicated migraine. It would be treated as a stroke with clot busters just to be sure. While not common it’s not exactly uncommon either. She would also have a large work up looking for a PFO (hole in the heart between the atria) that can allow paradoxical embolism of small venous clots and commonly associated with stroke in younger people.

If it’s a CVA first thing in my head for her age and gender is birth control medication. But I treat as if they’re old with blockage everywhere. LOL

Had an E.R. Doc keep me around. 60 something year old female. He wanted me to wait for the CAT scan to be done……then we knew it wasn’t a bleed.
Gave her IPA and WOW!
First and only time I saw it administered.
Amazing stuff.
