Congenital heart disease consists of various conditions including tetralogy of Fallot, ventricular septal defect, Epstein’s anomaly, single ventricle, etc. Among these single ventricles is one of the gravest forms of cyanotic congenital heart disease. The cardiac diagnosis is associated with an increased risk of stroke among children. Pediatric arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) is an important cause of neurologic disease in children causing disability. The 14-year-old patient came to the hospital was presented with left side hemiplegia with severe exercise intolerance due to congenital heart disease. The patient has been advised to undergo Fontan procedure for single-ventricle condition 3 years back, but due to poor socioeconomic status, parents of patients refused to do so. The primary goal was to improve bed mobility and trunk balance without developing symptoms of exercise intolerance. The intervention was started with deep and segmental breathing exercises. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and constrained induced movement therapy were added in the program in addition to passive and active movements, bed mobility, functional reeducation, trunk control exercises, and balance exercises. Combinations of all of the above therapeutic approaches lead to increased functional independence in the patient. This case reports the effectiveness of a rehabilitation program for pediatric arterial ischemic stroke with preventive guidelines for exercise intolerance.
