Pan Afr Med J. 2016 Jul 21:24:265. doi: 10.11604/pamj.2016.24.265.8366. eCollection 2016.

Abstract

Cardiac and cerebrovascular illnesses are major causes of mortality and morbidity. Thromboembolisms, which are the result of cardiac arrhythmia, are important causes of ischemic stroke. In this study, we present a rare case of multicentric ischemic stroke induced by Mobitz type II atrioventricular block.

Keywords: Mobitz Type II AV block; arrhytmia; cerebral ischemia.
