Spinal epidural hematoma as a stroke mimic
Spinal epidural hematoma is a rare disease with an annual incidence of 1 per 1,000,000 individuals;1 however, it is a critical stroke mimic.2 As patients with spinal epidural hematoma typically present with acute hemiparesis,3,4 such a presentation is not expected to be detected by a computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain, which is the most common neuroimaging choice in patients with an activated stroke code. Indeed, there are several case reports in which patients with spinal epidural hematoma were misdiagnosed with ischemic stroke and treated with anti-thrombotic therapy, including intravenous thrombolysis,5 –10 oc...

A Systematic Literature Review of Patients with Carotid Web and Acute Ischemic Stroke. (P5.286)
Conclusions:CW is a rare disease leading to ischemic stroke in younger patients without typical CV risk factors. CW patients in our SLR were at extremely high risk for recurrent stroke (47.8%). Aggressive secondary stroke prevention measures are indicated in this patient population, however, the optimal treatment strategies remain unclear. Carotid revascularization may be the definitive treatment for certain patients with CW, but further studies are needed as incomplete reporting and potential publication bias limit our findings.Disclosure: Dr. Dhruv has nothing to disclose.

Unusual Intersection: Elucidating the Role of Erdheim Chester Disease in Stroke (P4.366)
Conclusion:A unifying diagnosis of ECD was identified for this gentleman presenting with a stroke in the setting of critical ICA stenosis. Pathology from his CEA suggests that while ECD involves multisystem inflammation, it did not appear to play a direct role in his stroke.Disclosure: Dr. Sheikhi has nothing to disclose.

Intracranial Fibromuscular Dysplasia in a Middle-Aged Woman with Recurrent Ischemic Stroke (P4.388)
Conclusions: FMD is a rare disease and has very rarely been described in the intracranial arteries. This case illustrates the natural history and progression of FMD in this patient and elucidates the limited treatment options for preventing disease progression and secondary complications. FMD most predominantly affects younger to middle-aged females and if the disease process goes unrecognized it can have devastating consequences. It is important to continue research endeavors into the genetic and biologic determinants of FMD in order to develop better prevention and therapeutic strategies for this condition.Disclosure: Dr...

Spontaneous cervical epidural haematoma mimicking stroke: a  case report and literature review
Folia Neuropathol. 2022;60(2):261-265. doi: 10.5114/fn.2022.116940.ABSTRACTSpontaneous spinal epidural haematoma (SSEH) is a rare disease that requires emergency decompression or haematoma evacuation to prevent permanent neurological deficits. Hemiparesis is an extremely rare presentation of SSEH, commonly misdiagnosed as stroke. With the help of case studies and references, this paper comprehensively discusses the effective methods to distinguish SSEH from stroke and provides theoretical support and ideas for rapid and accurate identification of SSEH. Herein, we report on the case of a 51-year-old man with SSEH who presen...
