Migraine and white matter hyperintensities: The ARIC MRI study
Conclusion: Migraine is associated with WMH volume cross-sectionally but not with WMH progression over time. This suggests that the association between migraine and WMH is stable in older age and may be primarily attributable to changes occurring earlier in life, although further work is needed to confirm these findings.

Bilateral cerebellar hemorrhage in vermian vein thrombosis
A 67-year-old previously healthy man presented with sudden onset of headache, vomiting, and instability of stance and gait. Neurologic examination demonstrated bilateral dysmetria of the limbs, ataxia, and scanning speech. Neuroimaging showed bilateral cerebellar hemorrhage and altered signal of the superior vermian vein suggestive for thrombosis (figures 1 and 2). Workup for hematologic, coagulation, and immunologic disorders was negative.

Right Brain: How to treat the untreatable
Mr. X came in to the hospital late at night. He initially had left-sided weakness and headache but rapidly progressed to decreased level of consciousness (Glasgow Coma Scale score was 4). From home, I reviewed his head CT, which revealed a large supratentorial bleed that had ruptured into both lateral ventricles, and significant midline shift. Without having seen the patient, I already knew that his prognosis of survival was very low.

Neurological Disorders Due to Systemic Disease (Book)
If you are a splitter, and you are still in the vanishing market for a desktop reference, you will be in heaven with this new book. The book is organized into 15 presenting clinical problems that may be due to underlying systemic illness, or to the treatments used for those illnesses: headache, encephalopathy, dementia, stroke, seizures, neuro-ophthalmology problems, neuro-otologic presentation, movement disorders, myelopathies, peripheral nerve disorders, neuromuscular junction disorders, myopathies, autonomic manifestations, and sleep disorders. The stated reason for this organization is that neurologists may often be th...

Corticobasal syndrome associated with antiphospholipid syndrome without cerebral infarction
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a rare autoimmune coagulopathy with various systemic and neurologic symptoms. Ischemic stroke and TIA are common neurologic manifestations of APS, while migraine, epilepsy, chorea, and multiple sclerosis–like syndromes have also been reported.1,2 Dementia is an unusual manifestation of APS, and the presentation of APS with corticobasal syndrome (CBS) has rarely been reported.3,4 CBS is a progressive neurologic syndrome characterized by asymmetric cortical dysfunction, such as apraxia, alien limb phenomenon, or cortical sensory changes accompanied by akineto-rigid syndrome or dystoni...

Cerebral microbleeding in varicella-zoster viral meningitis: An early sign of vasculopathy?
A 75-year-old man undergoing chemotherapy for prostate cancer for 3 months presented with headache after having blisters in his left ear canal and auricle. His body temperature at presentation was 38°C. Neurologic examination revealed nuchal stiffness and left peripheral facial palsy. We also noted leukocytopenia (2,000/µL) and elevated serum C-reactive protein (8.51 mg/dL). CSF analysis showed no erythrocytes, elevated leukocytes (640/µL; 3% monocytes, 97% neutrophils), an increased protein level (473 mg/dL), and slightly decreased glucose level (51 mg/dL, serum glucose 120 mg/dL). Brain MRI and magnetic r...

Rare Presentation of Churg-Strauss Syndrome: Intracerebral Hemorrhage, Subdural Hemorrhage and an Intracranial Aneurysm (P2.103)
DISCUSSION:CSS can present with rare neurologic complications namely peripheral neuropathy, ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke and much less commonly - intracranial aneurysms. Our patient also had cardiac masses that resolved after treatment with high dose steroids. Subdural hemorrhage along with a left MCA aneurysm related to CSS has not been previously reported in literature.Disclosure: Dr. Chahil has nothing to disclose. Dr. Morgan has nothing to disclose.

Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome and Fingolimod: Culprit or Innocent Bystander (P2.224)
CONCLUSIONS:Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome may be a rare complication of Fingolimod treatment and should be considered in patients with new onset thunderclap headache. The mechanism likely involves the effects of Fingolimod on S1P(3) receptors on cerebral arteries.Disclosure: Dr. Fleming has nothing to disclose. Dr. West has nothing to disclose.

Quality of Life in Liver Transplant Patients with Neurologic Complications. (P4.031)
Conclusions: Our analysis shows that neurological complications worsen the quality of life of liver transplant patients.

Voltage Gated Calcium Channels Antibody-Associated Autoimmune Encephalitis (P5.228)
ConclusionThis case demonstrates a correlation between a high titer of VGCC antibodies and autoimmune encephalitis. Our patient's initial improvement with steroids and plasma exchange in the face of a negative CT and PET suggests a primary autoimmune process rather than a paraneoplastic etiology, though we admit that it is premature to rule out remission and we will continue to follow herDisclosure: Dr. Alwaki has nothing to disclose.

Safety of Dihydroergotamine Use in Patients with Symptoms of Hemiplegic or Basilar Type Migraine (P7.200)
ConclusionDihydroergotamine use showed no serious adverse events in this case series of patients meeting ICHD II criteria for migraine in whom HM or BTM was suggested. Study limitations preclude generalizability of results to other populations. Additional case series are needed before prospective trials can be justified.Disclosure: Dr. Klein has received personal compensation for activities with Allergan, Inc., Zogenix, UCB Pharma, Nautilus, and US WorldMeds.
