ABSTRACT
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a transient condition characterized by acute left ventricular dysfunction without evidence of significant coronary artery obstruction. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is not an uncommon complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage or acute cerebral infarction, but acute cerebral infarction is a rare thromboembolic complication in patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. We present a patient with acute cerebral infarction following Takotsubo cardiomyopathy associated with pneumothorax.
