Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke After Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Pulmonary Lobectomy in Patients With Lung Cancer: A Report of Four Cases and Literature Review
Postoperative cerebral embolic stroke is a serious complication of pulmonary lobectomy, occurring in 1.1% of patients undergoing lobectomy through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). The mechanism of this complication is thought to be embolic stroke caused by thrombus formed due to stagnation in the pulmonary vein stump after VATS lobectomy. There have been few reports demonstrating the utility of endovascular treatment (EVT) for cerebral embolic stroke after VATS lobectomy.

Clinical Characteristics and Analysis of Lung Cancer- Associated Acute Ischemic Stroke
The incidence of lung cancer and acute ischemic stroke remains high in recent years, both of which occur mostly in people over 60 years old. In the present study, we aimed to further clarify the pathogenesis of lung cancer-associated acute ischemic stroke (LCA-AIS) by comparing and analyzing clinical characteristics of stroke patients with or without lung cancer.

Predictors of mortality and disability in stroke-associated pneumonia
AbstractWhilst stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) is common and associated with poor outcomes, less is known about the determinants of these adverse clinical outcomes in SAP. To identify the factors that influence mortality and morbidity in SAP. Data for patients with SAP (n = 854) were extracted from a regional Hospital Stroke Register in Norfolk, UK (2003–2015). SAP was defined as pneumonia occurring within 7 days of admission by the treating clinicians. Mutlivariable regression models were constructed to assess factors influencing survival and the level of di sability at discharge using modified Rankin Scale [mRS]...

Nivolumab-induced posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome
A 47-year-old woman with metastatic, poorly differentiated lung cancer with neuroendocrine features was brought to the hospital after 4 days of nausea, vomiting, disorientation, and 1 generalized tonic clonic seizure. On examination, her blood pressure was 148/95 mm Hg, heart rate 95 bpm, and temperature 36.4°C. She was encephalopathic and had cortical blindness. She had no history of seizures or visual impairment. MRI brain without contrast showed changes consistent with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES; figure, A). She had been on nivolumab, of which she had received 2 doses; the last dose was 24 da...

Limb-Shaking Transient Ischemic Attack Induced by Middle Cerebral Artery Dissection after Lung Surgery
We report a case of limb-shaking transient ischemic attack (TIA) caused by a dissection of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) following lung surgery under general anesthesia. An 81-year-old male patient who underwent lobectomy for lung cancer suddenly developed transient shaking movements of the neck and the left upper distal limb on postoperative day 1. On the basis of the double-barrel appearance of the right M1 segment of the MCA, a diagnosis of MCA dissection was made. Physicians should be aware that limb-shaking TIA is sometimes caused by MCA dissection and could be precipitated by any condition, including lung surgery ...

The Vertebral Body Infarct Sign: A Case of Thoracic Spinal Cord Ischemic Stroke (P3.292)
Conclusions:While the vertebral body infarct sign is often recognized by neuro-radiologists, it is still relatively unknown to practicing neurologists. Early recognition of spinal cord infarct allows for timely evaluation for precipitating factors and initiation of secondary preventative therapies to decrease risk of further vascular events.Disclosure: Dr. Chan has nothing to disclose.

Stroke Caused by Lung Cancer Invading the Left Atrium
We describe a 59-year-old stroke patient presented with sudden onset left side weakness and a speech disorder due to a major acute cerebral infarction in the area of the right middle cerebral artery, right posterior cerebral artery, and small infarctions in the area of the left middle and left posterior cerebral artery. For the previous month, the patient had been feeling weak and had no appetite. The patient had not been previously seriously ill. A chest x-ray showed a large mass in the upper zone of the right lung.

Cancer-Associated Stroke: The Bergen NORSTROKE Study
Background: Underlying malignancy can cause ischemic stroke in some patients. Mechanisms include the affection of the coagulation cascade, tumor mucin secretion, infections and nonbacterial endocarditis. The release of necrotizing factor and interleukins may cause inflammation of the endothelial lining, creating a prothrombotic surface that triggers thromboembolic events, including stroke. The aims of this study were to assess the occurrence of cancer in patients who had recently suffered an ischemic stroke and to detect possible associations between stroke and cancer subtypes. Methods: All ischemic stroke patients registe...

Clinical Reasoning: A 68-year-old man with a history of lung cancer presenting with right-sided weakness and aphasia
A 68-year-old man with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation on warfarin, left subclavian thrombosis treated with carotid-subclavian bypass, and lung adenocarcinoma treated with pneumonectomy, chemotherapy, and prophylactic cranial irradiation and in remission since 1987 was admitted to our neurocritical care unit with acute onset of right-sided weakness, expressive aphasia, and lethargy. On admission his temperature was 101.7°F, and initial blood pressure was 140/60 mm Hg. There was no nuchal rigidity. He was alert and mute with impaired comprehension. He had left gaze preference. Vision was impaired in the right field. Ther...

Clinical Outcomes of Metastatic Intra-cerebral Hemorrhage and Role of Acute Radiotherapy (P3.077)
CONCLUSIONS: Early recognition of metastatic disease as the etiology of ICH is important, particularly when it is the presenting manifestation. Despite the overall poor prognosis of metastatic cancer, early radiotherapy may increase survival and offer quality of life in selected group of patients. A larger case series is needed.Disclosure: Dr. Afzal has nothing to disclose. Dr. Mendoza has nothing to disclose. Dr. Latorre has nothing to disclose.

Frequency of New Pulmonary Neoplasm Incidentally Detected by Computed Tomography Angiography in Acute Stroke Patients—A Single-Center Study
Incidental findings of suspect lung opacities are common in computed tomography (CT)–based thorax examinations, especially in high-risk patients, such as stroke patients. Screening with CT of the thorax has detected lung cancer in approximately .31%-1.20% of high-risk populations. The aim of the present study was to report the frequency of suspect lung opacities on routine acute stroke imaging.
