ABSTRACT
Cancer and stroke comprise two of the most common causes of death worldwide. Despite a significantly increased risk of stroke among patients with cancer, most stroke trials have excluded patients with malignancy. There is thus limited evidence to help guide management decisions in this complex population. We present the case of a 78-year-old man with recurrent strokes - both ischemic and hemorrhagic - in the setting of newly-identified metastatic prostate cancer. An atypical cause of cancer-associated stroke is reviewed and the management is discussed.
