Abstract
Ischemic stroke is rare among the French Armed Forces, but Army doctors on missions may be called on to manage it, in particular in sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, this is a critical emergency requiring early multidisciplinary approach, with limited means, involving neurologists from mainland France, in order to ensure patient optimal treatment. We here report the case of a patient with vertebro-basilar ischemic stroke treated with intravenous thrombolysis.
