Excessive alcohol consumption increases the risk of hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes through various mechanisms. Alcoholic cardiomyopathy (ACM), a subtype of dilated cardiomyopathy, may cause cardioembolic brain infarction. ACM is responsible for one-third of non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathies and is the most common etiology of nonischemic cardiomyopathies in Western countries that have high rates of alcohol consumption. Like other diseases caused by alcohol, ACM is more common among young and middle-aged males and mortality rates are higher among males (1,2). Here, we describe a case of acute cerebellar infarction due to ACM, which was diagnosed and treated in our institution. We report this case to draw attention to the importance of detecting and treating ACM associated with excessive alcohol consumption.
