"The patient is a 29-year-old ... female, who was hospitalised at a primary care unit for acute onset vertigo and dysarthria ... 4 days prior to the cerebrovascular event, she had undergone a first vaccination with a vector-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccine... There was no indication for deep venous thrombosis. Cerebral MRI 19 days after the stroke confirmed the previously detected ischaemic lesion in the right cerebellar hemisphere... 

[T]his case shows that juvenile, ischaemic stroke may occur shortly after vaccination with a vector-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in a patient with the risk factors smoking and PFO [patent foramen ovale]."
