A 30 year old Caucasian woman presented to the emergency department with recurrent occipital
headache, amnesic aphasia and apraxia of the upper extremities being exaggerated during
physical and emotional stress for one week. 40 days ago the woman gave birth to her third child, an apparently healthy female. Cerebral
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed evidence of sub-acute ischemia at the left
frontal insula, corresponding to an embolic occluded distal side branch of the mid-cerebral
artery. The patient was immediately transferred to the stroke unit.
