ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Achondroplasia is one of the most common types of dwarfism and is inherited as an autosomal dominant disease. The patients with achondroplasia suffer from various complications such as craniofacial, central nervous system, spinal, respiratory and cardiac anomalies.CASE DESCRIPTION We report a case of a 35-year-old man with achondroplasia who visited the emergency room with right hemiplegia and aphasia within 6 hours after onset. An Initial CT angiography showed the total occlusion of a left internal cerebral artery due to the thrombus. We treated the patient with endovascular thrombectomy using “Solumbra technique” with balloon guiding catheter. The procedure was successful and result was completely recanalized with Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (TICI) scale 3 and the weakness also improved from grade II to grade IV.CONCLUSION:
Acute ischemic stroke patients with achondroplasia could be treated with mechanical thrombectomy.
