ABSTRACT
Patients with polycythemia vera (PV) develop various complications due to hyper-viscous blood, causing events such as ischemic stroke. There are other associated complications due to the dysfunction of platelet activity, causing hemorrhages. In our unusual case, we present a patient who came to the OPD complaining of slurring speech. An MRI was done and was suggestive of acute lacunar infarcts with changes in chronic bleed. CBC and hematocrit were consistent for PV, with the genetic marker JAK2 being positive.
