Lisa had an ischaemic stroke five months ago.
She presented to A&E with word finding difficulties, slurred speech and mild right sided weakness.
Brain imaging showed multiple small infarcts in the left frontal, parietal and insular regions, which were likely embolic in nature.
Lisa had a short admission to hospital; after 2 days on the ward, the multi disciplinary team (MDT) felt she had made a good recovery, with no residual physical symptoms or activities of daily Living (ADL) impairment and no outpatient rehabilitation was required.
