[Ischemic cerebrovascular accident and sport activity. 6 cases].
Six cases of ischaemic stroke which occurred during sporting activities are reported. The authors insist on the unusual features of the ischaemic events which had the same characteristics as other ischaemic strokes in young subjects: frequent involvement of the main cerebral arteries, good vital and functional prognosis in short--and mid-term. They consider that three factors might have concurred in precipitating the ischaemic accident, viz.: fibromuscular dysplasia (observed in 3 patients), warm summer weather encouraging haemoconcentration and poor physical training in 5 out of 6 cases.
