Borderzone Infarction and Small Vessel Disease in a Sample of Egyptian Stroke Patients: Differences and Similarities
Conclusion: Limb shaking, retinal claudication or syncope, with MRI showing rosary pattern of white matter hyperintensity, few microbleeds and markedly impaired perfusion favor the diagnosis of borderzone infarctions. On the other hand, presence of lacunae, FLAIR showing symmetrical WMH and microbleeds with minimal or no perfusion deficit suggests the diagnosis of small vessel disease.

Epidemiology of a Rare Event
Retinal emboli are rare, with a prevalence in most of the relatively few studies on the subject, to my knowledge, of approximately 1 in 100 adults and an even smaller annual incidence. The study by Cheung et al in the present issue ofJAMA Ophthalmology involves the multiethnic population of Singapore and found that retinal emboli were present in only 88 of 9978 individuals who had retinal photographs (0.9%). This randomly selected sample of adults aged 40 to 80 years comprised, in almost equal numbers, of members of the 3 major ethnic groups residing in Singapore: Chinese, Malay, and Indian. Cheung et al provided data rele...
