Midbrain and bilateral paramedian thalamic stroke due to artery of Percheron occlusion.
CONCLUSION: Bilateral thalamic stroke due to artery of Percheron occlusion is a rare presentation of stroke, which can be overlooked in routine CT scan. If diagnosed, it requires further evaluation for stroke risk factors, especially cardiovascular disorders associated with increased embolic risk. PMID: 27154444 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Presentation, Evaluation, Management, and Outcomes of Acute Stroke in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: Our review revealed the low use of evidence-based practices for acute stroke care in LMIC. The true use in hospitals that do not conduct this research is probably even lower. Strategies to evaluate and improve health system performance for acute stroke care, including implantation of stroke units and making thrombolysis more available and affordable are needed in LMIC.

Efficacy of CT-Perfusion Study in Differentiating Seizures from Acute Stroke Prior to Initiating Tissue Plasminogen Activator Therapy (P02.033)
CONCLUSIONS: CT-Perfusion studies exhibit increased cerebral blood flow in seizures in constrast to decreased blood flow in ischemic events. It can help differentiate an acute stroke from an ictal discharge and can assist in preventing improper use of TPA and hemorrhagic complications.Disclosure: Dr. Ahmed has nothing to disclose.

Association of uric acid and carotid artery disease in patients with ischemic stroke
ConclusionOur study demonstrated that higher uric acid level is strongly associated with CAD. Elevated uric acid might be injurious for large cerebral arteries with some probable confounding risk factors. Further prospective large clinical trials will determine whether lowering uric acid level reduces the frequency of CAD and ischemic stroke.

Thrombus composition in acute ischemic stroke: A histopathological study of thrombus extracted by endovascular retrieval
Conclusion HAS was significantly associated with early phase thrombus composition. This may enable the prediction of thrombus composition and allow for targeted selection of therapeutic modality.

Abstract P451: Cerebrovasuclular Events in Patients With Primary Aldosteronism: Results of the PA Sendai Study Registry Session Title: Hypertension and Aging and Cerebrovascular Disease and Stroke
Background: Hyperaldosteronism is associated with the risk of cardio-and cerebrovascular events (CVE) that is independent of blood pressure levels and Primary aldosteronism (PA) display a higher risk of CVE compared with essential hypertension (EH).Objective: Our objective was to elucidate the prevalence of symptomatic stroke in PA patients and to characterize their clinical features.Design and Setting: This was a retrospective cross-sectional single center study (PA Sendai Study registry) between 2007 and 2016 in Japan.Patient: 807 patients with PA were registered and analyzed. The all patients were performed adrenal veno...

Intracranial Arterial Calcification in Black Africans with Acute Ischaemic Stroke
Conclusions: The burden of IAC is very high among native African patients with AIS and preferentially involves proximal inflow arteries. Therefore, the role of large vessel atherosclerosis in ischaemic stroke in native Africans should be explored in future multinational, multimodality studies.Cerebrovasc Dis Extra 2018;8:26 –38

Thrombolysis After Protamine Reversal of Heparin for Acute Ischemic Stroke After Cardiac Catheterization: Case Report and Literature Review
Conclusions: There are limited reports of protamine reversal of heparin before IV-tPA administration. To our knowledge, there are only 6 AIS cases including ours. Three cases received 0.6 mg/kg of tPA dose. All have favorable outcomes and no intracranial hemorrhage was reported. Protamine reversal of heparin for AIS after CC seems to be safe. Further studies are needed to confirm the therapeutic safety and efficacy of this strategy.

Japanese encephalitis (JE) mimicking acute ischemic stroke: A case report
Conclusion: Diagnosis of JE that mimicked acute stroke at onset and with no fever can be challenging. Recognition of disease development, MRI and Japanese encephalitis virus immunoglobulinM findings are helpful in early definitive diagnosis.

Cerebral Microbleed Burden in Ischemic Stroke Patients on Aspirin: Prospective Cohort of Intracranial Hemorrhage
Conclusion: Age and hypertension are independently associated with the presence of CMBs. Intracranial hemorrhage incidence rate was increased with the number of CMBs, and the number of CMBs ≥10 were independent predictors of ICH in acute stroke patients.

Recurrent migraine with binocular transient vision loss associated with acute stroke: A case report
CONCLUSION: Recurrent migraine with TBVL can be associated with acute stroke. It thus merits urgent evaluation and referral to the relevant department for a better outcome.PMID:34917346 | PMC:PMC8646124 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2021.103062

Amusia for Pitch Caused by Right Middle Cerebral Artery Infarct
A 61-year-old right-handed man with hypertension and dyslipidemia noted that he was singing along to classic rock songs on his car radio, but his voice was off pitch. Six days later, a magnetic resonance imaging scan of his brain revealed a cerebral infarct of the right temporal parietal cortex and insula. Case reports of the precise anatomic correlates of disordered pitch musical processing have been few and fragmentary. The anatomic involvement of our case coincides with the areas of involvement in 3 previously reported cases. Increased awareness of amusia as a rare clinical presentation of stroke should lead to earlier stroke intervention.
