Stroke is a real public health problem with a significant socio-economic impact and a high mortality risk. Its frequency in young people is between 10 and15% of all strokes. The persistence of a patent foramen ovale is one of the causes of cerebral ischaemia in young people, most commonly through paradoxical embolism. We report the case of a 17-year-old girl who presented with cerebral ischaemia with hemorrhagic transformation, revealing an 11 mm PFO with right-to-left shunting. In light of this clinical case, two hypotheses emerge: either our young girl has a right-to-left shunt responsible for cerebral ischaemia that has reached the stage of haemorrhagic infarction, or she has a cerebral haemorrhage following vascular ischaemic softening secondary to an inflammatory flare-up, which would explain why our patient had flu-like symptoms one week before her admission.
