Adenomyosis is a common, benign uterine disease. Acute cerebral infarction (CI) associated with adenomyosis is rarely reported and difficult to
treat. We experienced successful treatment for this disease. A 50-year-old woman presented with a two-day history of visual disturbance. Magnetic
resonance imaging showed multiple tiny diffusion-weighted high-density spots on several lobes. No common risk factors for stroke were detected.
Cancer antigen 125 Level was 999 U/mL, along with massively expanded uterus and adnexa. Based on the diagnosis of benign adenomyosis,
direct oral anticoagulants and GnRH agonists were administered for CI and adenomyosis, respectively. Acute CI recurred seven days after
admission. We suspected a relationship between infarction and adenomyosis, and concluded hysterectomy as a proper treatment strategy based
on literature. Eighteen months.. Read More»
