Stroke in young adults – a challenge for etiology, treatment and rehabilitation
Strokes occur rarely in individuals under the age of 45 and are even more uncommon under the age of 30, the etiology of this pathology in young adults being generally related to unknown or unusual causes. We present the cases of three young adults that suffered strokes with three different unusual e...
