Bilateral superior cerebellar artery infarcts: unusual presentation in two patients of stroke in young.

Stroke or cerebrovascular disease is one of the most important causes of high morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Stroke in young individuals poses a major problem as these individuals are bread earners of the family. Ischaemic strokes are increasingly being attributed to causes other than atherothrombotic disease. Disorders of coagulation leading to thrombotic disorders are relatively uncommon conditions which are implicated in approximately 1% of all ischaemic strokes and 4-8% of young strokes. Bilateral superior cerebellar infarcts due to hypercoagulable state are extremely rare situations. Here we present two patients with unusual presentation of stroke in young due to hypercoagulable state.
