Cause-specific Mortality after Stroke: Relation to Age, Sex, Stroke Severity, and Risk Factors in a 10-Year Follow-up Study
We investigated cause-specific mortality in relation to age, sex, stroke severity, and cardiovascular risk factor profile in the Copenhagen Stroke Study cohort with 10 years of follow-up. In a Copenhagen community, all patients admitted to the hospital with stroke during 1992-1993 (n = 988) were registered on admission. Evaluation included stroke severity, computed tomography scan, and a cardiovascular risk profile. Cause of death within 10 years according to death certificate information was classified as stroke, heart/arterial disease, or nonvascular disease. Competing-risks analyses were performed by cause-specific Co...

The Detrimental Effect of Aging on Leptomeningeal Collaterals in Ischemic Stroke
Conclusion: Our findings show that there is a significant interplay between patient age and adequacy of leptomeningeal collateral circulation in patients with proximal MCA occlusion. The relationship could contribute to adverse tissue outcome and thereby to unfavorable clinical outcome observed in elderly patients with ischemic stroke.

Internal Cerebral Vein Asymmetry on Follow-up Brain Computed Tomography after Intravenous Thrombolysis in Acute Anterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke Is Associated with Poor Outcome
Background: Identifying early predictors of functional outcome after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is important for planning rehabilitation strategies. Internal cerebral veins (ICV) drain deep parts of brain, run parallel to each other, and consistently seen on computed tomography angiography (CTA). Even minor asymmetry in their filling can be identified. We hypothesized that venous drainage would be impaired in patients with acute occlusion of internal carotid artery or middle cerebral artery. Because systemic thrombolysis can alter the vascular findings, we evaluated the relationship between ICV asymmetry on follow-up CTA ...

Early and Continuous Neurologic Improvements after Intravenous Thrombolysis Are Strong Predictors of Favorable Long-term Outcomes in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Background: Intravenously administered tissue plasminogen activator (IV tPA) remains the only approved therapeutic agent for arterial recanalization in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Considerable proportion of AIS patients demonstrate changes in their neurologic status within the first 24 hours of intravenous thrombolysis with IV tPA. However, there are little available data on the course of clinical recovery in subacute 2- to 24-hour window and its impact. We evaluated whether neurologic improvement at 2 and 24 hours after IV tPA bolus can predict functional outcomes in AIS patients at 3 months.Methods: Data for consecutive...

Effective ADAPT Thrombectomy in a Patient with Acute Stroke due to Cardiac Papillary Elastofibroma: Histological Thrombus Confirmation
A 75-year-old man with hypertension and atrial fibrillation was admitted to our emergency room with right-sided hemiplegia and complete aphasia (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] score = 18). A noncontrast computed tomography scan showed a slight hypodensity in the left insular region and a bright hyperdense sign in the M1 tract of the left middle cerebral artery (MCA). Angio-CT confirmed an occlusion of the M1 tract of the MCA. Magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging/p erfusion-weighted imaging was obtained and revealed a mismatch in the left parietal cortical region.

Long-term Prognosis of Patients Presenting First-ever Vestibular Symptoms in a Community-based Study
Conclusions: First-ever-in-lifetime VSs are common in patients with FNS and may represent a good opportunity for preventing a serious vascular event, particularly in patients with vascular comorbidity (silent infarctions and VRFs).

Intracranial Arterial Stenosis
Intracranial arterial stenosis (IAS) is usually attributable to atherosclerosis and corresponds to the most common cause of stroke worldwide. It is very prevalent among African, Asian, and Hispanic populations. Advancing age, systolic hypertension, diabetes mellitus, high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and metabolic syndrome are some of its major risk factors. IAS may be associated with transient or definite neurological symptoms or can be clinically asymptomatic. Transcranial Doppler and magnetic resonance angiography are the most frequently used ancillary examinations for screening and follow-up. Computed...

Clinical Properties of Regional Thalamic Hemorrhages
Conclusions: In the study, we detected that the most important risk factor in thalamic hemorrhage is hypertension. The prognosis is worse in global and medial group hemorrhages, especially those which rupture to the ventricle, than the other groups. Thalamic lesions cause a variety of symptoms, including forms of aphasia, such as crossed dextral aphasia.

Clinical Outcome Predicted by Collaterals Depends on Technical Success of Mechanical Thrombectomy in Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion
This study aimed to analyze the effects of technical outcome of mechanical thrombectomy (MTE) on the associations between collateral status, assessed with pretreatment computed tomography angiography (CTA), and neurological and functional outcome, as well as associations between collaterals and metabolic risk factors (arterial hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, overweight).

The “Blush” Sign on Computed Tomography Angiography is an Independent Predictor of Hematoma Progression in Primary Hypertensive Hemorrhage
Hypertension is an important etiology of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in neurosurgical practice. Contrast extravasation on computed tomography angiography, known as the “spot sign”, has been described as an independent predictor of hematoma progression and clinical deterioration. However, its role in hypertensive ICH alone has not been determined and is the primary aim of this study.

Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter Detects Intracranial Hypertension in Acute Malignant Middle Cerebral Artery Infarction
The term “malignant hemispheric cerebral infarction” was initially described in 1996 by Hacke et al.1 as an area of extensive infarction with surrounding cerebral edema. Currently, it is defined as ischemia of more than 50% of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory detectable on computed tomography ( CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the skull, associated with compatible symptoms.2
