Manifestations of an Uncommon Pontine Insult, Eight-and-a-Half Syndrome (P1.029)
CONCLUSIONS: EHS involves a specific constellation of clinical findings which include OHS and LMN facial palsy, all ipsilateral to the side of the lesion at the level of the pons. On the basis of our review, true EHS is a very rare manifestation. EHS variants, while still unique, are more common.Disclosure: Dr. mannel has nothing to disclose. Dr. Saada has nothing to disclose.

Neuroimaging findings of post-thrombolysis cerebral hemorrhage in acute ischemic stroke (P6.238)
Conclusion: The most common pattern of hemorrhage observed after IV-tPA in acute ischemic stroke was petechial hemorrhagic transformation of ischemic infarct, which is most suggestive of bleeding due to blood-brain breakdown at the site of infarction. Unusual patterns of hemorrhage (such as multiplicity and remote ICH) are rare. Further studies are warranted to better understand the underlying mechanisms of hemorrhagic complications after thrombolysis.Disclosure: Dr. Lee has nothing to disclose.

Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome
Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is an underappreciated and poorly understood cause of thunderclap headache (TCH). Although self-limited in the majority of patients, incidence is increasing, with presentations overlapping considerably with life-threatening conditions, such as aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and stroke. In addition, radiographic findings seen in RCVS are also present in primary angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS). Misdiagnosis of RCVS might subject patients to unnecessary invasive testing and immunosuppressive therapy.

Prediction of intracerebral haemorrhage expansion with clinical, laboratory, pharmacologic, and noncontrast radiographic variables
ConclusionClinical and noncontrast radiographic variables only weakly predict hematoma expansion. Examination of other indicators, such as computed tomographic angiography contrast extravasation (the ‘spot sign’), may prove more valuable in acute intracerebral haemorrhage care.

Antiplatelet treatment compared with anticoagulation treatment for cervical artery dissection (CADISS): a randomised trial
Publication date: Available online 12 February 2015 Source:The Lancet Neurology Background Extracranial carotid and vertebral artery dissection is an important cause of stroke, especially in young people. In some observational studies it has been associated with a high risk of recurrent stroke. Both antiplatelet drugs and anticoagulant drugs are used to reduce risk of stroke but whether one treatment strategy is more effective than the other is unknown. We compared their efficacy in the Cervical Artery Dissection in Stroke Study (CADISS), with the additional aim of establishing the true risk of recurrent stroke. Methods W...

Clinical, angiographic and radiographic outcome differences among mechanical thrombectomy devices: initial experience of a large-volume center
Conclusions Although our initial data confirm the superiority of SR technology over the Merci device, there was no significant difference in near complete/complete reperfusion, final infarct volumes or clinical outcomes between SR and Penumbra thromboaspiration.

Diffuse Patterns of Nonaneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Originating from the Basal Cisterns Have Predictable Vasospasm Rates Similar to Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Nonaneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) has been historically associated with a benign clinical course. However, recent studies have suggested that nonaneurysmal SAH can present with different hemorrhage patterns that may be associated with differential rates of morbidity. Herein, we analyze a retrospective consecutive cohort of patients with nonaneurysmal SAH to determine outcomes. We also seek to evaluate a validated radiographic grading scale to determine its utility in predicting vasospasm in the setting of different hemorrhage patterns.

Emergent intracranial surgical embolectomy in conjunction with carotid endarterectomy for acute internal carotid artery terminus embolic occlusion and tandem occlusion of the cervical carotid artery due to plaque rupture.
Abstract Acute internal carotid artery (ICA) terminus occlusion is associated with extremely poor functional outcomes or mortality, especially when it is caused by plaque rupture of the cervical ICA with engrafted thrombus that elongates and extends into the ICA terminus. The goal of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of surgical embolectomy in conjunction with carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for acute ICA terminus occlusion associated with cervical plaque rupture resulting in tandem occlusion. A retrospective review of medical records was performed. Clinical and radiographic characteristics were eval...

West Virginia University Pediatric Stroke Registry: Clinical Description and Risk Factors Identification in Patients From a Rural Area
Conclusion. Patients with the most common risk factors for stroke (cardiac disease) were overrepresented. This suggests that in children receiving medical attention in rural areas less common risk factors for stroke might not be identified, increasing the risk recurrence. Increased index of suspicion is needed about pediatric stroke in rural areas, and early transfer to a tertiary care center for identification of risk factors is mandatory.

Cn-20 * bevacizumab causing recurrent cerebral infarction in a patient with glioblastoma: a previously undocumented phenomenon
CONCLUSIONS: Here we describe a case of an ischemic stroke with radiographic correlate while on bevacizumab, with clinical improvement arrested by the development of a recurrent stroke when bevacizumab was restarted. Interestingly, the distal arteries within the stroke bed appeared somewhat attentuated, suggestive of radiation vasculopathy. This case, describing a previously undocumented phenomenon, raises the possibility of a synergistic effect of bevacizumab and radiation vasculopathy. It may be that radiation vasculoapthy alone is typically insufficient to cause ischemia, but the addition of bevacizumab may precipitate ...

A pain in the neck
A 41-year-old woman presented to the emergency department after developing severe neck pain while unloading groceries. The pain began at the base of her neck, radiated to the vertex of the skull, reached maximum intensity within 2–3 min, and was aggravated by head movement. Neurological examination was normal. Head CT showed focal hyperattenuation immediately anterior to the midbrain (figure 1) and angiogram showed no evidence of aneurysm (see online supplementary figure 1). Diagnosis: Perimesencephalic nonaneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (PN-SAH). Originally described in 1985,1 PN-SAH has been reported in pa...

P-008 Loading Doses of Aspirin and Clopidogrel Prior to Enterprise Stent-assisted Repair of Intracranial Aneurysm-A Single Center Experience
Conclusions Using loading doses of aspirin and clopidogrel in Enterprise stent-assisted repair of intracranial aneurysm is not only safe and feasible but associated with good clinical outcome. Therefore, loading doses of aspirin and clopidogrel is an alternative option for patients who are candidates for stent-assisted repair of intracranial aneurysm. Disclosures Y. Lodi: None. V.

Adult Moyamoya Disease in an Urban Center in the United States Is Associated With a High Burden of Watershed Ischemia Stroke
Conclusions We observed a high burden of ischemia, mostly watershed pattern on neuroimaging in our adult moyamoya disease patients. Long-term monitoring of adult moyamoya disease patients in the United States would be useful to better understand the natural history of this condition.

The THRIVE score predicts symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage after intravenous tPA administration in SITS‐MOST
ConclusionsThe THRIVE score predicts the risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage after intravenous tissue plasminogen activator administration. This external validation of the relationship between THRIVE and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage in a prospective study further strengthens the role of the THRIVE score in the prediction of poststroke outcomes.
