Abstract
The present article describes a clinical case of ischemic cerebral infarction in а female patient with chronic HCV-infection. Although the prevalence of this pathology does not seem to be very high in comparison with that in general population, it remains life-threatening and must be well studied as one of the possible neurologic complications of chronic HCV infection concordant to mixed cryoglobulinemia, the most prevalent anhepatic HCV manifestation. However, the etiology and peculiarities of visceral cryoglobulinemia manifestations in chronic HCV infection need further research, which makes this problem extremely actual in the present-day HCV treatment.
