Abstract
Introduction
Subclavian steal syndrome occurs due to retrograde flow secondary to ipsilateral subclavian stenosis which leads to hemodynamic changes causing cerebrovascular lesions, specifically in the posterior arterial territory.
Case
A patient with acute weakness and hypoesthesia. MRI revealed a stroke in the left middle cerebral artery territory. Further studies reported subclavian steal syndrome.
Conclusion
Subclavian steal syndrome is associated with cerebrovascular disease, particularly in the posterior territory, hence, neurologists should be aware of the clinical picture, diagnosis approach and treatment options.
