Dizziness in a tertiary neurological department: A cross ‐sectional study
ConclusionThe diagnosis and management of dizziness remain a challenge for clinicians. Vertigo and light-headedness were the most common symptoms among different types of dizziness. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and stroke/transient ischemic attack were among the leading causes for common dizziness disorders. The prognosis of most dizzy patients was good.

Assessment of cheese sign and its association with vascular risk factors: Data from PUMCH dementia cohort
CONCLUSIONS: The risk factors for cheese sign were hypertension, age, and stroke. Cheese sign consists of BGH, PVS, and lacunae/infarction.PMID:37415546 | DOI:10.1097/CM9.0000000000002785

E-135 Dejerine-roussy syndrome in the setting of right sigmoid sinus thrombosis: a unique case report
DiscussionThis case illustrates the important clinical aspects and physical findings needed to diagnose DRS. The presence of focal allodynia and hyperalgesia with recent cerebrovascular incidents provides significant evidence for DRS. The purpose of this case is to provide awareness and to increase clinical suspicion of DRS during examination, especially in the setting of cerebral venous sinus occlusion as infarction alone may not present as atypical allodynia.Disclosures S.

E-164 Symptomatic developmental venous anomaly thrombosis associated with covid-19 infection
We describe a milder case of DVA thrombosis in the setting of COVID-19 infection presenting with unilateral hemiparesis requiring medical management alone. A 41-year-old female with hypertension who presented with left hemiparesis. Non-contrast computed tomography (CT) of head revealed linear calcifications in the right centrum semiovale consistent with DVA. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an acute ischemic stroke in the right corona radiata adjacent to the vascular abnormality. Extensive workup for other causes of ischemic stroke was unrevealing. Cerebral angiography ruled out arteriovenous shunting and did not ...

Consensus statement for the management of incidentally found brain white matter hyperintensities in general medical practice
Med J Aust. 2023 Aug 21. doi: 10.5694/mja2.52079. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: There is a paradigm shift in our understanding of white matter hyperintensities (WMH) found on brain imaging. They were once thought to be a normal phenomenon of ageing and, therefore, warranted no further investigation. However, evidence now suggests these lesions are markers of poor brain and cardiovascular health, portending an increased risk of stroke, cognitive decline, depression and death. Nevertheless, no specific guidelines exist for the management of incidentally found WMH for general medical practitioners and other clin...

A Woman With a History of Stroke and a Mass in the Aorta
A 65-YEAR-OLD WOMAN presented with an acute onset of slurred speech and left facial droop. She had a past medical history of Raynaud's disease, well-controlled hypertension, and moderate tricuspid regurgitation, which was being followed by serial transthoracic echocardiographic examinations. A duplex ultrasound of the carotid and vertebral arteries was negative, whereas a magnetic resonance imaging scan of her brain revealed a subacute embolic cerebral infarction. A transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) examination also was performed during the workup, revealing the presence of moderate-to-severe tricuspid regurgitation ...

Left Ventricular Global Function Index by Magnetic Resonance Imaging--A Novel Marker for Assessment of Cardiac Performance for the Prediction of Cardiovascular Events: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis Epidemiology/Population Science
Left ventricular (LV) function is generally assessed independent of structural remodeling and vice versa. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a novel LV global function index (LVGFI) that integrates LV structure with global function and to assess its predictive value for cardiovascular (CV) events throughout adult life in a multiethnic population of men and women without history of CV diseases at baseline. A total of 5004 participants in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis underwent a cardiac magnetic resonance study and were followed up for a median of 7.2 years. The LVGFI by cardiac magnetic resonance was def...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea as a Risk Factor for Cerebral White Matter Change in a Middle-Aged and Older General Population
Conclusions:Moderate to severe OSA is an independent risk factor for WMC in middle-aged and older individuals. Thus, early recognition and treatment of OSA could reduce the risk of stroke and vascular dementia.Citation:Kim H; Yun CH; Thomas RJ; Lee SH; Seo HS; Cho ER; Lee SK; Yoon DW; Suh S; Shin C. Obstructive sleep apnea as a risk factor for cerebral white matter change in a middle-aged and older general population. SLEEP 2013;36(5):709-715.

Prognostic Significance of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Children With Pulmonary Hypertension Original Articles
Conclusions— Cardiac MR measures correlate with clinical status and prognosis in children with pulmonary hypertension. Cardiac MR is feasible and may be useful in clinical decision making in pediatric pulmonary hypertension.

Subclinical cerebral abnormalities in chronic kidney disease.
Conclusions: The present study showed that community-dwelling elderly subjects with late stage 3 CKD were at high risk for prevalent subclinical lacunar infarction. The identification of CKD-specific modifiable risk factors for SBI and WMLs is of increased importance for prevention of subclinical brain ischemic lesions. PMID: 23652446 [PubMed - in process]
