Agitation and somnolence by bilateral paramedian thalamic infarct
Key Clinical MessageBilateral thalamic infarction in paramedian artery territory may present with severe acute illness, confusion, coma and memory impairment. However, subtle clinical presentation as in our case should alert the clinician to consider such a diagnosis as it can be associated with good prognosis.AbstractBilateral thalamic infarct is a rare form of stroke. Mostly thalamic infarcts are unilateral. In most cases, bilateral thalamic infarction leads to cognitive dysfunction, opthalmoparesis, conscious impairment, behavioral disturbance, and corticospinal dysfunction. Here, we describe the case of a 75-year-old m...

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-150 Mechanical thrombectomy in distal middle cerebral artery occlusions using a novel blind exchange mini-pinning technique: experience in 7 consecutive cases
ConclusionBlind mini-pinning allows for combined use of distal stentriever with a 035 thrombectomy catheter, affording a larger ID than traditional microcatheter engagement of the thrombus with enhanced stability for removal, and improved reperfusion rates in distal occlusions. This technique may be efficacious for the treatment of distal occlusions and further studies are needed to compare outcomes in distal occlusions.Abstract E-150 Figure 1(A) Deployment and blind mini-pinning navigation of 035 aspiration catheter (blue) through 071 (black) and 088 thrombectomy catheter (orange) into the M2 segment with follow-up angiog...

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 ...

E-260 Bilateral cerebral arteriovenous shunting through pial and perforating vessels with multiple strokes and intraparenchymal hemorrhages in a patient with hepatopulmonary syndrome
This study presents a unique case of a 54-year-old male patient with a history of stroke, liver cirrhosis, portal vein thrombosis, hypertension, diabetes, and bladder cancer, who experienced multiple episodes of intracranial hemorrhages, stroke and worsening confusion over the past five years. The patient‘s clinical presentation raised suspicion for an underlying occult vasculopathy. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) revealed multiple curvilinear, irregular, bilateral pial vessels with early high-flow arteriovenous shunting, consistent with vascular shunting that is associated with liver cirrhosis. The patient&ls...

How commonly do children with complex cerebral arteriopathy have renovascular disease?
AimTo describe the frequency of renovascular abnormalities and hypertension in an opportunistic cohort of children with complex cerebrovascular disease from a single tertiary/quaternary referral centre. MethodThis was a retrospective case note and imaging review of children who had had cerebral and renal angiography, with a diagnosis of moyamoya or other occlusive cerebrovascular disease (OCVD). Hypertension was defined as at least three systolic blood pressure readings of the 95th centile or above. ResultsOf 34 children (12 males, 22 females; median age 5y 11mo, range 2mo‐15y 3mo; 20 with moyamoya, 14 with OCVD), primar...

Pathological Features of Three Cases of Rapid Progressive Multifocal Infarcts (P02.034)
CONCLUSIONS: Rapidly progressive simultaneous strokes, in the presence of multifocal intracranial stenosis, and elevated inflammatory markers, can mislead to the diagnosis of vasculitis. Subsequent treatments might contribute to patient's demise, by adversely affecting hemodynamic and metabolic factors which are particularly important in such clinical settings.Disclosure: Dr. El-Andary has nothing to disclose.

Unilateral isolated hypoglossal nerve palsy associated with internal carotid artery dissection
A 54-year-old healthy man was admitted to our hospital with acute dysarthria and mild impairment in swallowing and tongue movements, which he had noticed 2 days before. He was not taking any drugs, and his medical history was unremarkable except for mild hypertension (145/95 mm Hg). He denied prior trauma, fever, facial pain, headache or any other symptoms. Physical examination showed mild dysarthria and left-sided tongue deviation when the patient poked his tongue out, which was consistent with left hypoglossal nerve palsy (figure 1A). Other cranial nerves were preserved. Carotid murmurs were not heard, and...

Bilateral carotid artery dissection in a severe preeclamptic setting: An unusual cause of postpartum headache.
Abstract A 30-year-old woman with severe preeclampsia presented at 27weeks of amenorrhea with left headache, neck pain, blurred vision and numbness of left hemiface that resolved spontaneously within 2hours. A week later, hypertension remained poorly controlled despite combination of nicardipine and labetalol intravenous therapy; an urgent caesarean section was eventually performed due to onset of HELLP syndrome. At day 5 postpartum, the patient had a Horner syndrome with right ipsilateral disabling tinnitus. A CT-angiography of supra-aortic trunks was performed urgently; it showed a bilateral carotid arterial dis...

Cardiology for gynecologists—A minireview
Abstract: Despite cardiovascular disease (CVD) being by far the most common cause of death in women worldwide, awareness is low. Myocardial infarction occurs 10 years later in women than in men. Symptoms may be atypical: dyspnea rather than chest pain. Also more women than men have myocardial infarction with normal coronary angiography, probably due to microvascular disease or coronary spasm. The prognosis of non-obstructive disease is now recognized to be the same than for obstructive disease. The conventional risk factors for CVD are the same for both genders but have a different impact for women. One example is psychoso...

Is the lumen diameter of peripheral arteries a good marker of the extent of coronary atherosclerosis?
CONCLUSIONS: According to our results, LD of the common carotid artery appears to be an independent predictor of 3VD. RCCLD turned out to be a basic prognostic variable (called 'risk variable') of the extent of coronary atherosclerosis afteradjustment for age and prior MI. Measurements of common carotid artery LD, together with age, history of MI (and gender in the case of the left common carotid artery LD), could estimate the probability of 3VD. Other studies will be necessary to confirm our results before the obtained method can be used in clinical practice as a simple non-invasive diagnostic tool for a specific group of...

Early Invasive Versus Initial Conservative Treatment Strategies in Octogenarians with UA/NSTEMI
Abstract: Background: Previous studies have demonstrated improved outcomes with an early invasive strategy in patients with unstable angina/non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (UA/NSTEMI). However, there are limited data for patients ≥80 years of age in these studies.Methods: We used the 2003-2010 Nationwide Inpatient Sample databases to identify all patients ≥80 years of age (octogenarians) with UA/NSTEMI. Multivariable logistic regression was used to compare in-hospital outcomes in octogenarians with UA/NSTEMI undergoing early invasive (coronary angiography within 48 hours of admission, with or without revasculari...
