Lonely living among the elderly has become a widespread issue in Ukraine, particularly in the context of the mass emigration of the younger generation seeking safety and stability abroad. This demographic shift leaves many older adults vulnerable and often incapable of ensuring adequate self-care or timely medical assistance in emergency situations. Individuals with Parkinson's disease may be at increased risk for stroke. In cases of solitary living, the prognosis for such patients remains particularly poor. This case report presents an elderly patient with Parkinson's disease who experienced an acute cerebrovascular accident complicated by prolonged compression positional syndrome, resulting from delayed medical intervention due to solitary living.
