Introduction: Whole body cryotherapy is a new therapeutic for pain treatment. Cryotherapy is, so far, a controversial technique challenged for its efficacy and its security.
Case report: This is the case of a 61-year-old woman suffering from a haemorrhagic cerebrovascular accident during a whole-body cryotherapy session. The patient was treated for a psoriatic arthritis and was in remission. The aetiological screening was negative.
Conclusion: We hypothesize that the whole-body cryotherapy was responsible for this stroke.
