Abstract: Trousseau syndrome is characterized by thromboembolism induced by malignancy[1] and typically affects middle-aged to elderly patients.[2⇓-4] When faced with a young patient suffering from cerebral infarction and diffuse arterial emboli, there is some controversy regarding whether to consider it a concurrent malignancy triggering Trousseau syndrome or to adhere to TOAST (Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment) for common causes.[5,6] In this case study, we aimed to report a young patient with Trousseau syndrome presenting with multiple arterial emboli.
