Cases of patients complicated with dextrocardia who suffer from acute cerebral infarction with large vessel occlusion and receive emergency thrombectomy are particularly rare and have not been widely reported. This article aimed to increase the awareness and knowledge of these cases. We report the case of a patient with mirror-image dextrocardia who suffered from cerebral infarction with large vessel occlusion and received emergency thrombectomy. A male patient in his early 60s with dextrocardia had acute cerebral infarction with posterior circulation large vessel occlusion and underwent emergency thrombectomy. During the operation, the rapid confirmation of dextrocardia and use of flexible interventional instruments helped establish a pathway for blood flow. We used an intracranial thrombectomy stent and intracranial balloon dilation catheter to restore the cerebral blood supply. The Modified Rankin Scale score was 0 at 3 months after thrombectomy, indicating a good prognosis of the patient. Acute cerebral infarction with large vessel occlusion in patients with dextrocardia is extremely rare. Emergency thrombectomy is feasible to recanalize cerebral blood flow and give patients a chance to recover.
