ABSTRACT
Neurovascular disorders are not uncommon in cancer patients and usually arise from mechanisms unique to malignancy. These disorders can be caused by one or a combination of factors present in cancer patients, e.g., direct tumor effect, complication of cancer therapy, hypercoagulability, and immunocompromised state. The neurovascular disorders in cancer patients can be broadly categorized into ischemic strokes, hemorrhagic strokes, cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), and microangiopathic disorders. In this chapter, we have discussed various possible etiological factors of these neurovascular syndromes in cancer patients, and their clinical characteristics, management, and prognosis.
