Zoster Sine Herpete, Vertebral Artery Stenosis, and Ischemic Stroke
We report an immunocompetent man with common cold symptoms and conjunctivitis, followed by an acute onset of bulbar weakness and hemihypesthesia without preceding skin rash. Acute medullary infarction and left vertebral artery stenosis were detected. VZV infection was finally identified. Zoster sine herpetic interferes with accurate diagnosis of infectious stroke, and vertebral artery involvement is unusual in ischemic stroke in this situation. An unexplained course of ischemic stroke event should be suspected in patients with VZV cerebrovasculopathy, especially in those without conventional stroke risk factors and those...

ZIKA vasculitis: A new cause of stroke in children?
Viral infectious vasculitis is a cause of stroke in children. Zika virus infection is often asymptomatic. Neurological complications have however been reported: Guillain-Barr é, ADEM, meningoencephalitis, myelitis, microcephaly in the fetus of infected mothers. We discuss the case of a child presenting acute infection with ZIKV that was associated with a stroke. A 10-months-old boy without medical history presented after 2days of fever and cutaneous rash, conjunctivitis on day 5, a right hemiparesis on day 6.

Highlights from this issue
June Issue BJO Temporary monocular blindness is a risk factor for stroke and may need quick surgical therapy. The highest risk period for suffering a stroke after a temporary monocular blindness or amaurosis fugax is the first 14 days after the event, and this is the recommended threshold for performing carotid endarterectomy. Naylor and colleagues stress the importance of referring ophthalmological patients presenting with transient monocular blindness (or blindness felt to be "monocular") to stroke units for further diagnosis and therapy of a potential carotid artery stenosis.1 Purulent Conjunctivitis I Children In an in...

SARS-CoV-2 Impairs Vision
Conclusions: This mini review shows that impaired vision may be the initial manifestation of COVID-19, that all sections of the visual tract may be affected and causative for visual impairment in COVID-19 patients, and that SARS-CoV-2 manifests along the visual tract with ischemia, focal infection, and immunological reactions.

Vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) in vascular inflammatory diseases
Vasa. 2022 Oct 6. doi: 10.1024/0301-1526/a001031. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACT Vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) also known as amino oxidase copper containing 3 (AOC3) is a pro-inflammatory and versatile molecule with adhesive and enzymatic properties. VAP-1 is a primary amine oxidase belonging to the semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) family, which catalyzes the oxidation of primary amines leading to the production of ammonium, formaldehyde, methylglyoxal, and hydrogen peroxide. VAP-1 is mainly expressed by endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, adipocytes and pericytes. It is involved in a repertoire of bi...
