Abstract
We report a case of watershed ischemic stroke in a 36-year-old male secondary to manual strangulation. The patient presented with a right hemiparesis with grade IV motor deficit and an expressive aphasia. Radiological investigation revealed an ischemic stroke on the left distal middle cerebral artery territory and in watershed areas of the left anterior and posterior cerebral arteries. There was no evidence of injury of cervical vessels. The hemodynamic mechanism and associated brain injury secondary to manual strangulation is described and discussed based on a literature review.Entities:
