Early recognition is crucial for timely management.\n\nCase Report: A 44-year-old male with a multiligament injury of the left knee underwent arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, meniscal repair, and posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fixation. In the immediate post-operative period, he developed altered sensorium and left-sided weakness. Neuroimaging revealed a massive right hemispheric infarction with complete occlusion of the right internal carotid artery. The exact etiology remained uncertain despite extensive evaluation.\n\nConclusion: Post-operative neurological deterioration following arthroscopic surgery warrants urgent evaluation. Early neurovascular imaging and multidisciplinary management are essential for the diagnosis and treatment of these rare but catastrophic events.\n\nKeywords: Arthroscopic knee surgery, ischemic stroke, carotid artery occlusion, multiligament knee injury, post-operative complication, case report.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i08.7856","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,7]],"date-time":"2026-08-07T16:20:47Z","timestamp":1786119647000},"page":"245-250","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.13107\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["An Unusual Catastrophic Neurological Complication Following a Routine Arthroscopic Multiligament Knee Reconstruction: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.13107","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Rahul","family":"Kakran","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Yashoda Group of Hospitals, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashish Kumar","family":"Agarwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Yashoda Group of Hospitals, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vinay","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Yashoda Group of Hospitals, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vipin","family":"Tyagi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Yashoda Group of Hospitals, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kamappa Rajappa","family":"Binduvaraprasad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Yashoda Group of Hospitals, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"5271","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"container-title":["Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,13]],"date-time":"2026-09-13T08:45:27Z","timestamp":1789289127000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/jocr.co.in\/wp\/2026\/08\/an-unusual-catastrophic-neurological-complication-following-a-routine-arthroscopic-multiligament-knee-reconstruction-a-case-report\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"8","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i08.7856","relation":{},"ISSN":["2321-3817"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2321-3817","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"assertion":[{"value":"Research Article","name":"content_type","label":"Content Type"},{"value":"Yes","name":"crosschecked","label":"CrossChecked"},{"value":"Yes","name":"peer_reviewed","label":"Peer Reviewed"},{"value":"10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i08.7856","name":"published","label":"Published"},{"value":"Creative Commons Attribution","name":"license","label":"License","explanation":{"URL":"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0"},"group":{"name":"rights","label":"Rights"}}]}}
