Only 20 cases of stroke caused by being on an amusement park ride have been reported worldwide.
A trip to a local county fair ended with a young woman developing a stroke and being rushed to the hospital after going on a new ride.
Her husband immediately rushed her to the emergency department, where she was diagnosed with vertigo — a condition in which problems with the inner ear or part of the brain cause dizziness — and sent home with a prescription for anti-nausea drugs. However, two days later her symptoms persisted and she was taken back to hospital.
Doctors couldn't find the exact source of the woman's stroke, although they suspected it was caused by an embolism, in which an artery is blocked by a blood clot that traveled from another part of the body. They prescribed her medications to control her post-stroke headaches and reduce her risk of developing heart disease, and her status was tracked through physical therapy follow-up appointments.
