Abstract
- Uterine adenomyosis, which is known as a benign gynecological disease, can induce hypercoagulable state and be an uncommon cause of cerebral thromboembolism, as cerebral infarction is common in patients with malignant neoplasm. We report a woman with uterine adenomyosis who shows several episodes of cerebral infarction and discuss the stoke mechanism and treatment of this under-recognized etiology of stroke.
