E-110 Bilateral hypoplasia of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and intracranial vasculopathy with 'moyamoya phenomenon in association with alagille syndrome
ConclusionThe educational value of our case lies not only in the rarity of the condition but also in the uniqueness of patient presentation. It would be a helpful addition to the existing literature on rare genetic syndromes with cerebral vasculature involvement.Abstract E-110 Figure 1Disclosures H. Shakeel: None. J. Gandhi: None. R.

Know your stroke mimics
A developmentally normal and previously well 15-year-old boy, presented to hospital with a 4-hour history of gradually worsening, throbbing, left-sided headache spreading across his whole head. Four hours prior, he could not read properly or string words together and felt tired. He developed a headache followed by expressive aphasia, agitation and vomiting. A right-sided lower facial droop was noted that resolved in a couple of hours. He played a rugby match in the morning and there was a history of minor head injury without loss of consciousness. He started to develop self-resolving apnoeic episodes each lasting for 30&nd...

What Are the Main Acyanotic Congenital Heart Diseases?
Discussion Congenital heart diseases (CHD) are malformations of the heart and great vessels. It occurs in about 5-8/1000 live births. Cyanotic congenital heart disease is often noted perinatally because of cyanosis, respiratory distress and/or poor feeding or other distress type problems. A review can be found here. Acyanotic congenital heart disease (ACHD) can present at birth but often is seen in older children or adults unless the lesions are severe, especially obstructive lesions. Severe lesions may also cause cyanosis and distress type problems in patients also. Shunting lesions cause problems by diverting blood flo...

Neurological Involvement in Primary Systemic Vasculitis
Conclusion Neurological involvement is a common complication of PSV (Table 1), and neurologists play an important role in the identification and diagnosis of PSV patients with otherwise unexplained neurological symptoms as their chief complaint. This article summarizes the neurological manifestations of PSV and hopes to improve neuroscientists' understanding of this broad range of diseases. TABLE 1 Table 1. Common CNS and PNS involvements of primary systemic vasculitis. Author Contributions SZ conceived the article and wrote the manuscript. DY and GT reviewed and edited the manuscript. All authors ...

Vertebral Artery Dissection Masquerading as Concussion in an Adolescent
Conclusions Detailed history and thorough neurological examination in conjunction with appropriate imaging are necessary to distinguish between brainstem/cerebellar ischemia from vertebral artery dissection and concussion.

A rare cause of stroke in young: PHACE syndrome (P1.253)
Conclusions:Neurocutaneous syndromes are typically diagnosed in childhood and can be a rare cause of stroke in young. Our patient suffered an ischemic stroke secondary to sequelae of undiagnosed PHACE syndrome. Early identification of neurocutaneous syndromes allows for proper surveillance, evaluation, and preventative education for development of complications.Disclosure: Dr. Fitzgerald has nothing to disclose.

Three-dimensional modeling of Eagle syndrome
A 63-year-old man presented with transient episodes of left-hand weakness and right-eye vision loss following a lengthy airplane trip. The patient had reported right neck pain after sleeping awkwardly on the flight. Carotid dissection, paradoxical embolism, atherosclerotic occlusion, and thrombotic occlusion were considered possible etiologies of the associated carotid occlusion. Following a period of anticoagulation, a subsequent CT angiography (figure 1, A–C) revealed findings consistent with the styloid-carotid artery, or Eagle, syndrome.1 A 3-dimensional model was subsequently created (figure 2, A and B) utilizin...

Rupture of vertebral artery dissection aneurysm during 3D DSA
A 60-year-old man with a history of headache and vomiting had a subarachnoid hemorrhage on CT scan. On 2-dimensional (2D) digital subtraction angiography (DSA), a possible dissection aneurysm of the vertebral artery was seen (video 1 on the Neurology® Web site at Neurology.org). During 3D DSA, the aneurysm suddenly ruptured (video 2), with intracranial hemorrhage. The pressure of contrast was 200 psi, the rate was 2 mL/s, with a total volume of 12 mL. The patient was transferred to the intensive care unit but died of brain herniation and vasospasm. Few dissection aneurysms rupture during 3D DSA, but the risk is likely ...
