Stroke Subtypes and Risk Factors in Saudi Arabia (P1.124)
CONCLUSION: Non-cardioembolic disease was the overwhelming stroke mechanism in this middle-eastern cohort with only 4[percnt] of patients have cardioembolic stroke, in comparison to roughly 20[percnt] reported in Western cohorts. In part, these differences may be explained by deficient prolonged cardiac monitoring. However the high prevalence of atherothrombotic risk factors and overrepresentation of non-cardioembolic stroke suggests a need to optimize atherothrombotic stroke risk factor management within our populationDisclosure: Dr. Al Harbi has nothing to disclose.

'Ping-Pong' Gaze in Hypoglycemic Encephalopathy (P6.302)

It has been previously reported in structural brain lesions. However, as demonstrated in this case it may be seen in other encephalopathes.Disclosure: Dr. Ali has nothing to disclose.
