Increasing comorbidity and health services utilization in older adults with prior stroke
Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate the importance of community-based patient-centered care strategies for stroke survivors that address their range of health needs and prevent more costly acute care use.

Prevalence of Ischemic Stroke in Cohort of Ulcerative Colitis Patients (P3.256)
Conclusions:In our cohort of ulcerative colitis patients, prevalence of ischemic stroke was 6000 per 100,000 which is not significantly different than the general population. However, in the under 60 age group prevalence of ischemic stroke is twice as that of the general population. Further population based cohort studies are needed to elucidate actual incidence in this high-risk group for early intervention.Study Supported by: No funding.Disclosure: Dr. Horta has nothing to disclose.

A Rare Association between Ulcerative Colitis and Bilateral Thalamic Stroke (P6.270)
CONCLUSIONS:Cerebral sinus and vein thrombosis is a serious and often fatal complication of idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease if undiagnosed. It should be considered in any patient with little or no known vascular risk factors presenting with a severe headache and other focal or diffuse neurological signs.Disclosure: Dr. Misthal has nothing to disclose.

Transient Neurologic Deficit Presenting with Cortical Vein Thrombosis Caused by Intracranial Hypotension: Case Report (P1.028)
CONCLUSION We hypothesized that intracranial hypotension led to venous engorgement (based on the Monroe-Kelli doctrine) and the subsequent cortical vein thrombosis, which then produced vasogenic edema, cortical irritability, and focal seizure that mimicked ischemic stroke. Based on our findings, clinicians should consider intracranial hypotension in patients presenting with dural sinus or cortical vein thrombosis, and orthostatic headache or imaging findings of dural enhancement.Disclosure: Dr. Plancher has nothing to disclose.

Paroxysmal Dysarthria and Ataxia after Treatment of Brainstem Encephalitis (P6.053)
CONCLUSIONS: Paroxysmal dysarthria and ataxia is most often recognized as a complication of multiple sclerosis, but it can occur in other neurologic diseases with midbrain lesions near or involving the red nucleus. Effective treatments include carbamazepine, acetazolamide, lamotrigine, and phenytoin.Study Supported by: N/A.Disclosure: Dr. Klaas has nothing to disclose. Dr. Boes has nothing to disclose.

Clinical Reasoning: Acute onset facial droop in a 36-year-old pregnant woman
A 36-year-old woman, G1P0, 22 weeks pregnant, presented to the emergency department for evaluation of acute onset facial droop. Her medical history included ulcerative colitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and heterozygosity for the prothrombin G20210A mutation. She was on 10,000 units of subcutaneous heparin twice daily for a previous deep vein thrombosis secondary to her prothrombin mutation; she was noncompliant with prescribed aspirin.
