Methylene Tetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) Mutation in a Young Patient with Stroke: A Case Report

Abstract

The etiology of young stroke is mainly contributed by genetic mutations in coagulation and metabolic pathways. We present a 29-year-old male, who presented with headache and weakness and later diagnosed to have posterior cerebral artery territory infarct. We highlight MTHFR mutation as an etiology of young stroke and the importance of family screening in such patients.
