description The incidence of stroke in young individuals has been showing an increasing trend. In such cases, atypical mechanisms of stroke should be considered. Here, we report a case of a 37-year-old healthy female who presented with complaints of right-sided ataxia and clumsiness that started after an amusement park ride where she was swung rapidly. Imaging revealed an infarct in the right cerebellar hemisphere. This case report highlights certain mechanisms that can cause a stroke in this situation, with special emphasis on recognition, timely medical management, public awareness of such risk factors, and the prevention of complications.
