Quick magnesium treatment fails to improve stroke outcomes, but study has silver lining
In the first study of its kind, a consortium led by UCLA physicians found that giving stroke patients intravenous magnesium within an hour of the onset of symptoms does not improve stroke outcomes.   However, the 8-year trial did find that with the help of paramedics in the field, intravenous medications can frequently be administered to stroke victims within that so-called "golden hour," during which they have the best chance to survive and avoid debilitating, long-term neurological damage.   The latter finding is a "game-changer," said Dr. Jeffrey Saver, director of the UCLA Stroke Center and a professor of ...

Status epilepticus mimicking stroke recurrence.
CONCLUSION: Status epilepticus is not infrequent in patients with previous stroke and may present with negative neurological symptoms, thus mimicking a stroke recurrence. EEG should be considered as a potential diagnostic tool in the acute stroke setting, at least in patients with previous stroke. This article is part of the Special Issue "Seizures & Stroke".

Description of stroke mimics after complete neurovascular assessment
ConclusionsIn our sample, 8.8% of all diagnoses of ischaemic stroke were SM. These events have different demographic, clinical, and prognostic characteristics; epilepsy is the most common aetiology. Despite receiving specialised emergency care, 19 patients with SM (4.7%) were treated with intravenous fibrinolysis.ResumenIntroducciónUn porcentaje de casos diagnosticados inicialmente como infartos isquémicos son de causa no cerebrovascular o stroke mimics (SM). Los datos publicados al respecto son heterogéneos y, generalmente, con cohortes pequeñas.ObjetivoNuestro objetivo es establecer qué enfermedades cursan como SM, ...

Misdiagnosis of lamotrigine toxicity as posterior circulation transient ischemic attack or stroke.
CONCLUSION: Emergency departments will frequently call a stroke alert for patients taking LTG and presenting with symptoms consistent with LTG toxicity, particularly in seniors at greater risk of stroke. This adds not only expense but also radiation and contrast exposure from computed tomography (CT) studies. We recommend that a rapid LTG assay be made available and always ordered in patients receiving LTG, avoiding the considerable expense of an unnecessary stroke evaluation.

In‐hospital costs in patients with seizures and epilepsy after stroke
Summary ObjectivesTo verify the net effect of seizures after stroke on the use of in‐hospital health care resources. MethodsConsecutive patients with first‐ever stroke were admitted to the stroke unit of a Moscow hospital and followed prospectively until death or discharge. Each patient experiencing seizures was matched for age, sex, stroke type, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score at admission, and stroke risk factors to 2+ patients with no seizures, as controls. Resources consumed included length of hospital stay, admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), diagnostic tests, medical consultations and tre...

Endovascular Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke in Clinical Practice: Analysis of Workflow and Outcome in a Tertiary Care Center
Conclusion: The analysis revealed several starting points for an improvement in the workflow of thrombectomy in our center. Analyses of workflow and treatment results should be carried out regularly to identify the potential for optimization of operational procedures and selection criteria for patients who could benefit from endovascular treatment.

Staring you in the face! sturge-weber syndrome is a spectrum disorder and late presentation is possible
A 52 year old man with a four year history of migraine with aura presented to hospital with a severe right sided headache and prolonged episode of left sided sensory and motor disturbance. Examination revealed left homonymous hemianopia, sensory inattention and hemiparesis (3/5). Reflexes were symmetrical and plantars downing. He had a facial port wine stain in a V1 distribution on the right. Unenhanced CT scan was normal. Migrainous infarction was the working diagnosis and he was commenced on aspirin. Two days later he experienced intermittent episodes of left face and arm twitching consistent with focal motor seizures, t...

Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome mimicking herpes simplex encephalitis: A case report
Radiol Case Rep. 2022 May 8;17(7):2428-2431. doi: 10.1016/j.radcr.2022.04.019. eCollection 2022 Jul.ABSTRACTMitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome presents with the features of herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE), which is rare and has been described in only a few case reports. Our case describes a 17-year-old female with no significant previous medical history presenting with an acute onset of fever, headache, and epilepsy, similar to HSE. Computed tomography of the brain showed bilateral basal ganglia calcification. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated gyriform...

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 ...

A Case of Transient Global Amnesia: A Review and How It May Shed Further Insight into the Neurobiology of Delusions
Conclusion In closing, our patient’s episode of TGA combined with her emotional and perceptual response lends credence to the proposal of a “fear/paranoia” circuit in the genesis of paranoid delusions—a circuit incorporating amygdala, frontal, and parietal cortices. Here, neutral or irrelevant stimuli, thoughts, and percepts come to engender fear and anxiety, while dysfunction in frontoparietal circuitry engenders inappropriate social predictions and maladaptive inferences about the intentions of others.[54] Hippocampus relays information about contextual information based on past experiences and the current situat...

Monitoring of Cortical Activity Postreperfusion. A Powerful Tool for Predicting Clinical Response Immediately After Recanalization
CONCLUSIONBIS value is associated with clinical and radiological variables in acute stroke patients. The final BIS value is a powerful independent predictor of further clinical improvement. Larger studies are needed to assess the value of post reperfusion cortical activity measured by BIS.
