Stroke-like migraine attacks in long term survivors of high grade glioma. (P1.174)
Conclusions:Stroke-like migraine attacks are difficult to treat and the pathophysiology is unknown. With more sophisticated imaging techniques, a better understanding of this phenomenon will aid in the treatment and prophylaxis of the syndrome with a goal of improving quality of life for this small but slowly growing population.Disclosure: Dr. New has nothing to disclose.

Central positional vertigo (P6.045)
Conclusions:Migraine may be a benign cause of CPV, however, a broad spectrum of diseases including tumors, stroke, infections and neurodegenerative disorders may be responsible. Earlier detection of posterior fossa lesions is critical to improve the outcome. Moreover, central positional vertigo/nystagmus could be the very first manifestation of the underlying disease.Central positional nystagmus is often an unrecognized entity. In this series, 3 patients had isolated positional DBN and truncal ataxia as the initial neurologic abnormality, one of them with a CNS neoplasm. Diagnostic clues for central localization are: prese...

Pseudotumoral presentation of cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation
Conclusion: The identification of one or several nonenhancing space-occupying lesions, especially in elderly patients presenting with cognitive impairment, should raise suspicion for the pseudotumoral presentation of CAA-I and lead to T2*-GRE sequences. Perfusion MRI and MRS appear to be useful techniques for the differential diagnosis of this entity.

Mitochondrial Encephalopathy with Lactic Acidosis and Stroke (MELAS) presenting as an apparent neoplastic process (P5.015)
CONCLUSION: MELAS can mimic more common disorders. The slow onset of her symptoms and the MRI's appearance led to suspicion for neoplasm. This is the first report to our knowledge where MELAS has presented as such. Documentation of this and other unusual presentations of mitochondrial disease is crucial to appropriate diagnosis of the condition.Disclosure: Dr. Rothstein has nothing to disclose.
