Prospective Study Of Acute Ischemic Stroke Sub-Types In A Teritiary Care Hospital In South India (P4.283)
Conclusion: The study contributes to understanding of demographic characteristics, risk factors and stroke-subtype in acute ischemic stroke. Like other studies LVA is the commonest subtype and intra-cranial vessels are commonly involved as in other Asian studies.Disclosure: Dr. Garuda has nothing to disclose.

CT Angiogram Helps to Predict Ischemic Stroke in Dizzy Patients, but NOT Better than the Clinical Examination (P3.084)
Conclusions: In patients with subjective dizziness, stroke risk factors and focal exam findings predict acute ischemic stroke. Calcification on CTA is also predictive, but does not significantly improve sensitivity.Disclosure: Dr. Chen has nothing to disclose. Dr. Schneider has nothing to disclose.

Retinal and Ophthalmic Artery Studies in Ischemic Stroke Patients Using Fundus Photography and Transcranial Doppler Methods (P4.252)
Conclusions:Our study in a robust sample of non-severe stroke patients showed that abnormal retinal AVR is strongly associated with IS patients even after accounting for traditional risk factors. OA-TCD studies, on the other hand, did not have significant associations with stroke group.Disclosure: Dr. Patil has nothing to disclose. Dr. Narayan has nothing to disclose.

Ischemic Stroke Outcomes in Oman: Experience of a University Hospital Based Stroke Registry (P6.278)
Conclusions:Ischemic stroke in Oman reflects the high morbidity/mortality seen in most communities in the region. Characteristics of incident stroke such as stroke recurrence, type, severity and cardiovascular comorbidity are likely the major determinants of stroke outcome. A relatively lower prevalence of extracranial artery disease and possible greater prevalence of multiple stroke mechanisms may also influence on outcomes and merit further study.Disclosure: Dr. Gujjar has nothing to disclose.

Prevalence of Asymptomatic Cerebral Aneurysm in General population and Ischemic Stroke Patient (I2-4A)
Conclusions: CA was more common in ischemic stroke patients than general population, especially in the 7th decade. Among the various vascular risk factors, hypertension was only correlated with increased prevalence of CA in ischemic stroke patients.Disclosure: Dr. Kim has nothing to disclose.

Prevalence and Clinical Correlation of Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction in African American Population with Ischemic Stroke (P02.044)
CONCLUSIONS: In this study the prevalence of LVSD in AA population with ischemic stroke was 22.45%. Among these, there was correlation between location of stroke and severity of LVSD. However prospective randomized studies are needed to validate our results. Disclosure: Dr. Devulapalli has nothing to disclose. Dr. Dunlap has nothing to disclose. Dr. Wilson has nothing to disclose.

Ischemic Stroke And Cervical Artery Dissection. Risk Factors And Functional Outcome In a Single Tertiary Care Hospital: The Clinica Alemana Stroke Registry (RECCA), 1997-2003 (P3.111)
ConclusionsThe prognosis of ischemic stroke patients with cervical artery dissections is generally good. The only variable associated with a worse prognosis, was a high NIHSS at admission. This allows early identification of a group of patients who are at increased risk of significant disability at discharge.Disclosure: Dr. Diaz has nothing to disclose.

Value of Eye Movement Exam in Aiding Precise Localization in Stroke (P1.016)
We present an unusual presentation of midbrain stroke presenting with bilateral ptosis in an African American male with vascular risk factors and concurrent use of bevacizumab. This case illustrates how detailed knowledge of anatomy and detailed neurologic exam remain valuable tools for localizing and diagnosing subtle presentations of common neurologic disease. Case description: A 69 year-old African American man with vascular risk factors including hypertension, hyperlipidemia and poorly controlled diabetes experienced sudden onset horizontal diplopia associated with fatigue. The patient presented to the Emergency Depart...

Facial Colliculus and Opalski Stroke Syndromes Caused by Vertebral Artery Dissection. Case Report (P4.349)
Conclusion: Brainstem stroke syndromes are challenging to localize before brain imaging. In this case two embolic strokes happened. The first in the right facial colliculus causing the right 6th and 7th cranial nerves palsy. The second happened in the left lateral medulla extending below the pyramidal decussation causing a classical left lateral medullary syndrome with ipsilateral hemiparesis, which constitute a left Opalski stroke syndrome.Disclosure: Dr. Alghamdi has nothing to disclose.

Factors Affecting Distal Hyperintense Vessel Sign, a Postulated Marker for Intracranial Collateral Circulation (P4.256)
Conclusions:We note consistencies between prior studies and our study showing that younger patients without hypertension have better collaterals. We also found an association of diabetes with less DHVS whereas prior studies have yielded an inconsistent association. While a correlation between stroke severity and stroke volume could not be confirmed, low power and wide stroke-to-MRI gap (range 1–8 d) were important limitations here. Further study correcting these shortcomings is warranted. In conclusion, our findings support the origins of DHVS from collateral circulation and are affected by traditional cerebrovascula...

Acute Stroke in Young Women Taking Phentermine (P01.249)
CONCLUSIONS: We present here two patients with mild underlying cerebrovascular risk factors who presented with acute stroke after taking diet pills containing phentermine. The public should be aware of the possible association between stroke and phentermine. More long-term outcomes research is necessary to understand the safety of phentermine-containing diet pills. Patients with cerebrovascular risk factors should be cautious about using Phentermine containing diet pills.Disclosure: Dr. Smit has nothing to disclose.
