Résumé
Bilateral middle cerebral artery occlusion is a very rare and dangerous pathology, accounting for less than 1% of stroke presentations. Unless treated, the natural course of the disease leads to coma or death and thus is extremely important to be detected early and managed appropriately. We present the case of a 69-year-old lady who woke with right-sided weakness and was found to have a left middle cerebral artery stroke on arrival to her local hospital, which progressed to bilateral paresis and dysarthria whilst on transfer to a tertiary hospital for definitive management. The patient underwent emergent mechanical thrombectomy of bilateral middle cerebral artery occlusions and made a complete recovery. This case emphasis the importance of the early recognition of rare bilateral middle cerebral artery occlusions and demonstrates that timely and effective treatment can have favorable outcomes for patients.
