Abstract

Stroke secondary to polycythemia rubra vera (PRV) is very uncommon. A 55 years old man presented to us with ischaemic stroke, imaging revealed one recent and multiple previous Lacunar infarcts. Evaluation for underlying cause proved him as a case of PRV. Effective treatment of PRV can prevent the further recurrence of Ischaemic stroke
