Abstract
Cerebral infarction is normally caused by thrombosis in chronic cardiogenic patients. However, it may be an acute appearance after surgery because of thrombus formation in dammaged vascular. The left upper lobectomy is the highest risk factor for cerebral infarction among anatomical lung resection. Here we report a 69-year-old patient who presented with left hemiparesis after left upper lung lobectomy on the fourth day. We strongly suspect that cerebral infarction is one of cardiopulmonary complications after anatomical lung resection in this case
