Summary

A 53-year-old woman, with no vascular risk factors or significant previous medical history experienced first ischemic stroke and was successfully treated with thrombolysis. A thorough diagnostic work-up and long term follow up did not reveal any cardiovascular condition, the patient had been on hormone replacement therapy for 7 years at the time of the cerebrovascular accident. Effect of hormone replacement therapy and the role of other commonly prescribed drugs on the stroke burden risk are briefly discussed. Individualized therapeutic plan balancing risks, benefits, comorbidities and patients choice is recommended to reduce stroke burden especially in patients needing polytherapy
