Stroke is commonly caused in patients with risk factors like Obesity, Diabetes, Hypertension, dyslipidemias, cardiac disease, alcohol consumption, illicit drug use, sedentary life style or with a family history of stroke. Cirrhosis is a rare cause of ischemic stroke. Studies show that HBV has a protective role in preventing stroke. More studies show HCV related DCLD with hemorrhagic stroke.

MRI Brain and MRS showed bilateral multiple infarcts. Patient however could not be given antiplatelet due to high INR and low platelet count.
