Abstract

Stroke in young adults is less common than stroke elderly people. Stroke in young adults needs an extensive work up both for common as well as uncommon causes. Stroke due to vitamin B12 deficiency causing hyper homocysteinemia is a rare cause. It is important to identify vitamin b12 deficiency  as the cause since it is treatable and preventable cause of stroke. Hence, early recognition and treatment of vitamin b12 deficiency can improve the treatment results at a low cost and prevent wasting of health care dollars on expensive to treat diagnosis.
