This is the 13th reported case of CTS associated with stroke. In most previous cases evidence of blood stasis or frank thrombus was associated with the CTS membrane, and/or existing AF was noted. In this case, none of these were identified, particularly highlighting the surreptitious risk of CTS. In addition, the presence of potential protein C deficiency in this case compounded the risk for thromboembolism and factored into multidisciplinary management decisions.
